Abstract
More than 400 K+π+μ+μ- events were observed in a rare K+ decay experiment at the AGS. Normalized to the K+π+π+π- decay, the branching ratio is determined to be (9.22 0.60 (stat) 0.49 (syst))× 10-8. This branching ratio and the μμ mass spectrum is in very good agreement with the measurement of the K+π+e+e- decay, but deviates significantly from the previous measurement.
