Abstract

Using the full data set of the NA48/2 experiment, the decay K^± → π^± e⁺ e^- γ is observed for the first time, selecting 120 candidates with 7.3 ± 1.7 estimated background events. With K^± → π^± π_D⁰ as normalisation channel, the branching ratio is determined in a model-independent way to be Br (K^± → π^± e⁺ e^- γ, m_{e e γ} > 260 MeV / c²) = (1.19 ± 0.12_stat ± 0.04_syst) × 10^-8. This measured value and the spectrum of the e⁺ e^- γ invariant mass allow a comparison with predictions of chiral perturbation theory.
