Abstract

A search for the decay K_S → π⁰γγ has been made using the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. Using data collected in 1999 during a 40-hour run with a high-intensity K_S beam, an upper limit for the branching ratio BR(K_S → π⁰γγ, z ≥ 0.2) < 3.3 x 10^-7 has been obtained at 90% confidence level, where z = m²_γγ/m_KO².
