Background shape
C.Bloise, F.Ceradini 10-Oct-02 8
The invariant mass of the photon system Mk
for the background has been compared with
Monte Carlo prediction, selecting events with:
| Etot
- | > 5 arc(cos >10o
At 280 MeV/c2 < Mk< 400 MeV/c2 maximum discrepancy on the cumulative
distribution was 0.04
The background content on the signal window has been changed by an arbitrary amount between 16% . The effect on the signal was ~10 times smaller.
A systematic error ~0.4% on the signal comes from the background shape predicted by the
Monte Carlo simulation.

KL--> Counting
C.Bloise, F.Ceradini 10-Oct-02 11
The Signal has been obtained by fitting the Mk distribution assuming the knowledge of the
shapes by Monte Carlo simulation:
151 pb-1 : KL--> 9141 ± 116
Background : 3596 ± 104 F
| Etot
- | < 4 arc(cos < 15o
For comparison, maintaing only the first cut, it has been obtained:
KL--> 9697 ± 116
Background : 9578 ± 178 F
| Etot
- | < 4

Conclusions
C.Bloise, F.Ceradini 10-Oct-02 16
The details of the measurement of the ratio Br(KL--> ) / Br(K
L--> ) have been
studied. The current result
Br(KL--> ) / Br(K
L--> ) = ( 2.80 ± 0.04
stat ± 0.02
syst) 10-3
is in our opinion well established
The Br(KL--> ) measurement is dominated by the current error (1.3%) on
Br(KL--> )
The status report will be circulated by beginning of November.
An increased Monte Carlo statistics for the background can improve the fit quality.
Further 150 pb-1 taken in 2002 have been filtered to be included in the paper.
