Study of KS KL Coupled Decays and KL -Be Interactions with the CMD-2 Detector at VEPP-2M Collider
The integrated luminosity about 4000 inverse nanobarn of around phi meson
mass ( 5 millions of phi mesons) has been collected with the CMD-2 detector at
the VEPP-2M collider. A latest analysis of the KS KL coupled decays based on 30
% of available data is presented in this paper.
The KS KL pairs from phi meson decays were reconstructed in the drift chamber
when both kaons decayed into two charged particles. From a sample of 1423
coupled decays a selection of candidates to the CP violating KL into pi+ pi-
decay was performed. CP violating decays were not identified because of the
domination of events with a KL regenerating at the Be beam pipe into KS and a
background from KL semileptonic decays.
The regeneration cross section of 110 MeV/c KL mesons was found to be 53 +-
17 mb in agreement with theoretical expectations. The angular distribution of
KS mesons after regeneration and the total cross section of KL for Be have been
measured.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figure
Search for rare Phi decays in pi+ pi_ gamma final state
A search for phi radiative decays has been performed using a data sample of
about 2.0 million phi decays collected by the CMD-2 detector at VEPP-2M
collider in Novosibirsk. From the selected e+ e- -> pi+ pi- gamma events the
following results were obtained: B(phi -> f0(980) gamma) < 1x10-4 for
destructive and B(phi -> f0(980) gamma) < 7x10-4 for constructive interference
with the Bremsstrahlung process respectively, B(phi -> gamma -> pi+ pi- gamma)
20 MeV, B(phi -> rho gamma) < 7x10-4. From the
selected e+ e- -> mu+ mu- gamma events B(phi -> mu+ mu- gamma) =
(2.3+-1.0)x10-5 has been obtained for E of gamma> 20 MeV. The upper limit on
the P,CP-violating decay eta -> pi+ pi- has also been placed: B(eta -> pi+ pi-)
< 9x10-4 . All upper limits are at 90 % C.L.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figure
