Measurement of the Branching Ratio of the KL -> pi+pi- decay with the KLOE Detector
Abstract
We present a measurement of the branching ratio of the CP violating decay KL->pi+pi- performed by the KLOE experiment at the phi factory DAFNE. We use 328 pb-1 of data collected in 2001 and 2002, corresponding to ~ 150 million tagged KL mesons. We find BR(KL->pi+pi-) = $(1.963 +/- 0.012 +/- 0.017)x 10-3. This branching ratio measurement is fully inclusive of final-state radiation. Using the above result, we determine the modulus of the amplitude ratio |η+-| to be (2.219 +/- 0.013)x 10-3 and |ε| to be (2.216 +/- 0.013)x 10-3.
