Determination of the relative decay rate KS $\to \pi e \nu$ / KL $\to \pi e \nu$ (2007)

Abstract
The decay rate of KS $\to \pi e \nu$ relative to the rate of KL $\to \pi e \nu$ has been measured by the NA48 collaboration in a neutral Kaon beam originating from 400 GeV proton-Be interactions at the CERN SPS. The result is 0.993±0.026stat±0.022syst, compatible with 1 in agreement with the Standard Model prediction at tree level. It implies BR(KS$\to\pi e \nu$) = (7.05 ± 0.18stat. ± 0.16syst.) × 10−4.
