Abstract

The decay rate of the neutral K meson K_L → e⁺e^-γ has been measured with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. A total of 6864 events has been observed with an estimated background of 10 events. The branching ratio is Γ(K_L → e⁺e^-γ)/Γ(K_L → all) = (1.06 ± 0.02_stat ± 0.02_sys ± 0.04_calc) × 10^-5 The parameter α_K* describing the relative strength of the two contributing amplitudes to this decay through intermediate pseudoscalar or vector mesons was measured to be α_K* = -0.36 ± 0.06_stat ± 0.02_sys.
