Precise measurement of Gamma(Ks->pi+pi-(gamma))/Gamma(Ks->pi0pi0) with the KLOE detector at DAFNE

Abstract

Using a sample of over 400 million phi->KsKl decays produced during the years 2001 and 2002 at the DAFNE e+e- collider, the ratio R=Gamma(Ks->pi+pi-(g))/Gamma(Ks->pi0pi0) has been measured with the KLOE detector. The result is R=2.2555+-0.0012(stat)+-0.0021(syst-stat)+-0.0050(syst), which is in good agreement with the previously published result based on the KLOE data sample from the year 2000. The average of the KLOE results is R=2.2549+-0.0054, reducing the total error by a factor of three, to 0.25%.
