Abstract

Preliminary results on KL->pi e nu(gamma) decays collected by the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS are reported. Using a sample of 6.8 X 106 reconstructed events BR(Ke3) = 0.4010+-0.0028+-0.0035 was obtained. From the branching ratio the value of |Vus|= 0.2187+-0.0028 was extracted. The same data sample has provided also a high precision measurement of the slope lambda+ of the form factor of the Ke3 decay. Investigating the Ke3gamma decay, from a sample of 18977 reconstructed events, BR(Ke3gamma)/BR(Ke3) = (0.964+-0.008+0.012-0.011)% was determined.
