Description

Preliminary results of the K± → µ ± π0π0ν (Kmu400) decay first observation and analysis based on the NA48/2 data collected in 2003-2004 are presented. The branching ratio measurement is done on the basis of 2437 selected candidates with about 20% background. In the restricted region of squared dilepton mass above 0.03 GeV^2/c^4, the branching ratio is Br(Kmu400, M2(2l)>0.03 GeV2/c4) = (0.65 ± 0.03) x 10-6. The full phase space result is Br(Kmu400) = (3.4 ± 0.2) x 10-6 depending on the decay model extrapolation. This result agrees with a ChPT-based calculation using experimental form factors input.
