A search for inclusive muon-neutrino (v^) oscillations has been performed in the Fermilab narrow-band neutrino beam using two detectors running simultaneously at two distances from the neutrino source. The data show no evidence for a distance dependence of the neutrino flux and rule out oscillations of v^ into any other single type of neutrino for 30 < Am 2 < 1000 eV 2 /c 4 and sin 2 (20) > 0.02-0.20.
We report on a new measurement of the branching ratio B(KL → π 0 γγ) using the KTeV detector. We reconstruct 1982 events with an estimated background of 608, that results in B(KL → π 0 γγ) = (1.29 ± 0.03stat ± 0.05syst) × 10 −6. We also measure the parameter, aV , which characterizes the strength of vector meson exchange terms in this decay. We find aV = −0.31 ± 0.05stat ± 0.07syst. These results utilize the full KTeV data set collected from 1997 to 2000 and supersede earlier KTeV measurements of the branching ratio and aV .
The recent discovery of a large CP violating asymmetry in KL-->pi+pi-e+e- mode has prompted us to seach for the associated KL-->pi 0 pi 0 e+e- decay mode in the KTeV-E799 experiment at Fermilab. In 2.7 x 10(11) K(L) decays, one candidate event has been observed with an expected background of 0.3 event, resulting in an upper limit for the KL-->pi 0 pi 0 e+e- branching ratio of 6.6 x 10(-9) at the 90% C.L.
The branching ratio of the rare decay 0 ! e e ÿ has been measured precisely, using the complete data set from the KTeV E799-II experiment at Fermilab. We observe 794 candidate 0 ! e e ÿ events using K L ! 3 0 as a source of tagged 0 s. The expected background is 52:7 11:2 events, predominantly from high e e ÿ mass 0 ! e e ÿ decays. We have measured B 0 ! e e ÿ ; m e e ÿ =m 0 2 > 0:95 6:44 0:25 stat 0:22 syst 10 ÿ8 , which is above the unitary bound from 0 ! and within the range of theoretical expectations from the standard model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
