Tests of Chiral Perturbation Theory with $K_{e4}$ decays at CERN NA48/2 experiment

The NA48/2 collaboration has accumulated the largest sampl es to date of semi-leptonic charged kaon decays in the K + − e4 (K ± → π + π − e ± ν ) and K 00 e4 ( K ± → π 0 π 0 e ± ν ) modes. From 1.1 million K + − e4 decays, form factors in the S- and P-wave have been extensive ly studied. Branching r...

Sumario:The NA48/2 collaboration has accumulated the largest sampl es to date of semi-leptonic charged kaon decays in the K + − e4 (K ± → π + π − e ± ν ) and K 00 e4 ( K ± → π 0 π 0 e ± ν ) modes. From 1.1 million K + − e4 decays, form factors in the S- and P-wave have been extensive ly studied. Branching ratio and form factors have been measured at unprecedented precis ion. From ∼ 66000 K 00 e4 decays, preliminary values of the Branching ratio and form factor ha ve been obtained at a percent level precision. The comparison of Branching ratio and form facto r values in both K e4 modes sheds new light on isospin symmetry breaking effects. Form factor measurements are major inputs to the study of low energy QCD and are powerful tests of Chiral Pe rturbation Theory predictions
