    Kl3γ+K^+_{l3\gamma} decays revisited: branching ratios and T-odd momenta correlations

    Full text link
    We calculate the branching ratios of the K+π0l+νlγ(l=e,μ)K^+ \to \pi^0 l^+ \nu_l\gamma (l = e, \mu) decays, and the T-odd triple momenta correlations ξ=q[pl×pπ]/MK3\xi=\vec{q}\cdot[\vec{p}_l \times \vec{p}_\pi]/M^3_K, due to the electromagnetic final state interaction, in these processes. The contributions on the order of ω1\omega^{-1} and ω0\omega^0 to the corresponding amplitudes are treated exactly. For the branching ratios, the corrections on the order of ω\omega are estimated and demonstrated to be small. We compare the results with those of other authors. In some cases our results differ considerably from the previous ones.Comment: 13 pages, 11 figures; references adde

    Measurement of the K+μ+νμγK^+\rightarrow{\mu^+}{\nu_{\mu}}{\gamma} decay form factors in the OKA experiment

    Full text link
    A precise measurement of the vector and axial-vector form factors difference FVFAF_V-F_A in the K+μ+νμγK^+\rightarrow{\mu^+}{\nu_{\mu}}{\gamma} decay is presented. About 95K events of K+μ+νμγK^+\rightarrow{\mu^+}{\nu_{\mu}}{\gamma} are selected in the OKA experiment. The result is FVFA=0.134±0.021(stat)±0.027(syst)F_V-F_A=0.134\pm0.021(stat)\pm0.027(syst). Both errors are smaller than in the previous FVFAF_V-F_A measurements.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figure

    Ke3K_{e3} decay studies in OKA experiment

    Full text link
    Recent results from OKA setup concerning form factor studies in Ke3K_{e3} decay are presented. About 5.25M events are selected for the analysis. The linear and quadratic slopes for the decay formfactor f+(t)f_{+}(t) are measured: λ+=(26.1±0.35±0.28)×103\lambda'_{+}=(26.1 \pm 0.35 \pm 0.28 )\times 10^{-3}, λ"+=(1.91±0.19±0.14)×103\lambda"_{+}=(1.91 \pm 0.19 \pm 0.14)\times 10^{-3}. The scalar and tensor contributions are compatible with zero. Several alternative parametrizations are tried: the Pole fit parameter is found to be MV=891±2.0M_V = 891 \pm 2.0 MeV ; the parameter of the Dispersive parametrization is measured to be Λ+=(24.58±0.18)×103\Lambda_+ =(24.58 \pm 0.18) \times 10^{-3}. The presented results are considered as preliminary

    Experimental study of direct photon emission in K- --> pi- pi0 gamma decay using ISTRA+ detector

    Full text link
    The branching ratio in the charged-pion kinetic energy region of 55 to 90 MeV for the direct photon emission in the K- --> pi- pi0 gamma decay has been measured using in-flight decays detected with the ISTRA+ setup operating in the 25 GeV/c negative secondary beam of the U-70 PS. The value Br(DE)=[0.37+-0.39(stat)+-0.10(syst)]*10^(-5) obtained from the analysis of 930 completely reconstructed events is consistent with the average value of two stopped-kaon experiments, but it differs by 2.5 standard deviations from the average value of three in-flight-kaon experiments. The result is also compared with recent theoretical predictions.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figure

    Search for charginos in e+e- interactions at sqrt(s) = 189 GeV

    Full text link
    An update of the searches for charginos and gravitinos is presented, based on a data sample corresponding to the 158 pb^{-1} recorded by the DELPHI detector in 1998, at a centre-of-mass energy of 189 GeV. No evidence for a signal was found. The lower mass limits are 4-5 GeV/c^2 higher than those obtained at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV. The (\mu,M_2) MSSM domain excluded by combining the chargino searches with neutralino searches at the Z resonance implies a limit on the mass of the lightest neutralino which, for a heavy sneutrino, is constrained to be above 31.0 GeV/c^2 for tan(beta) \geq 1.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figure
