Abstract

We present measurements of RKl3rad = Gamma(KL->πνγ; Egcm > 10 MeV)/Gamma(KL->πν), where ell = mu or e, and Egcm is the photon energy in the kaon rest frame. These measurements are based on KL decays collected in 1997 by the KTeV (E832) experiment at Fermilab. With samples of 1385 KL->πμνγand 14221 KL->πνγcandidates, we find RKm3rad = (0.530 +- 0.019)% and RKe3rad = (4.942 +- 0.062)%. We also examine distributions of photon energy and lepton-photon angle.
