  2. Measurement of BR(K+p+p 0 (g)) • A new measurement is crucial in order to perform the fit to K± BR’s: • only Kl3 and Kl3/Kp2 measured recently • Kl3 and Kp2 are strongly correlated • the available measurement dates back to Chiang ‘72 BR(K±p±p0) = (21,18 ± 0.28)%DBR/BR = 1,3x10-2 • but no radiative corrections & no correlations available This decay enters in the normalization of BR(Kl3) by NA48, ISTRA+, E865 used for Vus The absolute BR(Kp2) measurement • Normalization sample is given byK-m-n tag • Number of K±p±p0decays from the fit of the distribution of the momentum of the charged decay particle in the kaon rest frame assuming the pion mass (p*) • Selection efficiency related to Drift Chamber information only and measured directly on DATA using the K±X±p0 control sample identified from p0gg decay vertex Blessing Meeting – 19 December 2007

  12. Result using Tag Km2 * Updated Blessing Meeting – 19 December 2007

  13. Systematic effect (I): K± lifetime in MC The geometrical acceptance is taken from MC simulation and its value is strongly related to the charged kaon lifetime. The relation between BR and lifetime values has been obtained varying the lifetime in a range of ±1% around the value used in our MC According to the present uncertainty of the KLOE lifetime measurement K± /K± = 0.24% we get:BR/BR = 0.12% Blessing Meeting – 19 December 2007

  14. Systematic effect (II): FV lower bound The requirement on the position of the signal decay vertex in the transverse plane (rVTX) is: rVTX(min) < rVTX < rVTX(max)rVTX(min) = 40 cm rVTX(max) = 150 cm The resolution on the “neutral” vertex used for eDC wrt the kine valueis rneu  1.5 cm at rVTX(min) = 40 cm. We have moved rVTX (min) from 38 to 42 cm using 1 cm steps, evaluating signal count, efficiency and correction to the efficiency. The contribution to the systematic uncertainty is BR/BR = 0.17% Blessing Meeting – 19 December 2007

  15. Cross-check(I): tagging with Kp2 The two tags, Tag Km2 and Tag Kp2 , exhibit very different corrections due to the FILFO filter Therefore the measurement of BR(K+p+p0(g)) with the Tag Kp2 provides us an excellent cross-check of BR(K+p+p0(g)) done with the Tag Km2 (*) (*)the same efficiency has been used Blessing Meeting – 19 December 2007

  16. Result using Tag Kp2 Blessing Meeting – 19 December 2007

  17. KLOE ’06: PLB 632 Cross-check (II): measure BR(Km2(g)) • From the fit of the p* distribution we can extract the number of Km2 • decays with p*>225 MeV, integrating the Km2shape For the efficiency evaluation and correction, we have followed the same strategy used for our published paper and used the “m-cluster” sample. CFF = 1.0001  0.0003 CCRV = 1.0005  0.0003 • we have measured -0.034 correlation between BR(Kp2) and BR(Km2) Blessing Meeting – 19 December 2007

  18. Conclusions (I) • The measurement of the absolute BR(K+p+p0()), inclusive of final state radiation, has been presented using both Km2 and Kp2 tags: • The weighted average of these two results, accounting for correlations is: @ • The BR dependence on the lifetime value t has been measured @ • The measurement of BR(K++()) using the fit of the p* distribution has been performed and it is in agreement with our published value. The correlation factor with BR(K+p+p0()) has been measured. Blessing Meeting – 19 December 2007
