Abstract

We have measured the ratio R=Gamma(Ks -> pi+pi-gamma)/Gamma(Ks -> pi0pi0) with the KLOE detector at the DAFNE e+e- collider. This measurement is fully inclusive with respect to the pi+pi-gamma final state. The sample of over 106 two-pion decays of tagged Ks mesons allows a statistical error as low as 0.1% to be obtained. The accuracy is limited by systematic uncertainties, which are estimated primarily from data. We find R=2.236 +/- 0.003(stat) +/- 0.015(syst).
