Further Search for the Decay K{sup +}{yields}{pi}{sup +}{nu} {nu}(bar sign)

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters
A search for additional evidence for the rare kaon decay K{sup +}{yields}{pi}{sup +}{nu}{nu} (bar sign) has been made with a new data set comparable in sensitivity to the previous exposure that produced a single event. No new events were found in the pion momentum region examined, 211<P<229 MeV/c . Including a reanalysis of the original data set, the backgrounds were estimated to contribute 0.08{+-}0.02 events. Based on one observed event, the new branching ratio is B(K{sup +}{yields}{pi}{sup +}{nu} {nu}(bar sign))=1.5{sup +3.4}{sub -1.2}x10{sup -10} . (c) 2000 The American Physical Society.
