Abstract

A search for the decay K_S → π⁰e ⁺e^- has been made by the NA48/1 experiment at the CERN SPS accelerator. Using data collected during 89 days in 2002 with a high-intensity K_S beam, 7 events were found with a background of 0. 15 events. The branching fraction BR(K_S → π⁰e ⁺e^-, m_ee > 0.165 GeV/c²) = (3.0_-1.2^+1.5(stat)±0.2(syst)) × 10 ^-9 has been measured. Using a vector matrix element and a form factor equal to one, the measurement gives BR(K_S → π ⁰e⁺e^-) = (5.8_-2.4^+2.9) × 10^-9.
