Abstract:

A measurement of the KS lifetime is presented using data recorded by the NA48 experiment at the CERN-SPS during 1998 and 1999. The KS lifetime is derived from the ratio of decay time distributions in simultaneous, collinear KS and KL beams, giving a result which is approximately independent of the detector acceptance and with reduced systematic errors. The result obtained is τS = (0.89598 ± 0.00048 ± 0.00051) × 10-10 s, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Abstract:

The trigger used for the collection of the samples of K0 → π0π0decays in the NA48 experiment at CERN uses a novel pipeline design in order to satisfy the demanding specifications of a high rate kaon beam. The trigger algorithms, architecture and performance are described. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:

The decay rate of KL → π0 γγ has been measured with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. A total of 2558 KL π0γγ candidates have been observed with a residual background of 3.2%. The branching ratio is determined to be (1.36 ± 0.03(stat) ± 0.03(syst) ± 0.03(norm)) × 10-6 and the vector coupling constant av = -0.46 ± 0.03(stat) ± 0.04(syst). This result suggests that the CP-violation effects are dominating in the KL → π0e+e- decay. An upper limit for the KL → π0γγ decay rate in the two photon mass region mγγ < mπ0 is also given. © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
