K + mesons stopped in C3F8 in the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (LRL) 30-inch heavy liquid bubble chamber were used in a study of the properties of the decay mode K+ -> ir 0 -\-jx + +v. The properties studied were the /*+ and ir° energy spectra, fx + longitudinal polarization, ju + total polarization, and K^+/K e9 + branching ratio. The data are consistent with the universal V-A theory, with time-reversal invariance, and fx-e universality. Using the usual form-factor phenomenological expression for the strangeness-changing vector current, we obtain:Re £= +0.34_o.26 +0 -42 , Im £= +0.69_i. 0 -H) -86 , X + =0.00±0.05, f+(£"•)//+(£.«) = 1.01±0.05. Im £ should vanish by time-reversal invariance and/ + (iC M 3)//+(i£e3) should be unity if n-e universality holds. With these assumptions we obtain Re £==0.41_o.22 +0 -27 . CALLAHANet at.
The magnitude of the KS°~KL° mass difference Aw has been measured by monitoring the time dependence of the strangeness of neutral iTs produced in hydrogen and deuterium in the LRL 25-in. hydrogen bubble chamber. The particles originate as K° in Kr charge-exchange scatters at 0.85 to 1.15 BeV/c; the signature for an S--1 reaction is the production of a hyperon. Seventy-seven events were found, resulting in Ao> =0.50±0.15, measured in units of inverse Ks° lifetime. This and two other recent measurements using the same method are consistent with one another and with measurements of Aoo by other means.
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.
