First Measurement of the Rate $K^0_L \to \pi \mu \nu \gamma$ (1997)

Abstract
In a preliminary version of the NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS, in which an iron- scintillator sandwich calorimeter was used as a photon detector, the ratio of K$_L \to \pi\mu\nu\gamma$ and K$_L \to \pi\mu\nu$ decays was measured. The branching ratio BR(K$_L \to \pi\mu\nu\gamma, \mbox{E}_\gamma^*\ge30~\mbox{MeV}$)/(K$_L \to \pi\mu\nu$) is found to be $(2.08\pm0.17$ $^{+0.16}_{-0.21})\times10^{-3}$, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. The result is in agreement with theoretical predictions.
