In 2007 the NA62 experiment at CERN collected a large sample of charged kaon decays with a highly efficient trigger selecting events with electrons in the final state.

Abstract
In 2007 the NA62 experiment at CERN collected a large sample of charged kaon decays with a highly efficient trigger selecting events with electrons in the final state. The kaon beam represents a rich source of tagged neutral pion decays in vacuum. The electromagnetic transition form factor slope of the π0 in the time-like region has been measured from about 106 fully reconstructed π0 Dalitz decays collected in 2007. The preliminary result a = (3.68 ± 0.51stat ± 0.25syst) × 10-2 is the most precise to date. This value is compatible with theoretical expectations and consistent with the previous measurements.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
