Abstract

In data taken with the NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS in 1999, 730 candidates of the weak radiative hyperon decay Ξ⁰→Λγ have been found with an estimated background of 58±8 events. From these events the Ξ⁰→Λγ decay asymmetry has been determined to α(Ξ⁰→Λγ)=-0.78±0.18_stat±0.06 _syst, which is the first evidence of a decay asymmetry in Ξ ⁰→Λγ. The branching fraction of the decay has been measured to be Br(Ξ⁰→Λγ)=(1.16±0.05 _stat±0.06_syst)×10^-3.
