Measurement of the Dalitz decay at the Mainz Microtron
Abstract
The Dalitz decay π0 → e+e-γ has been measured in the γp → π0p reaction with the A2 tagged-photon facility at the Mainz Microtron, MAMI. The value obtained for the slope parameter of the π0 electromagnetic transition form factor, aπ= 0.030 ± 0.010tot, is in agreement with existing measurements of this decay and with recent theoretical calculations. The uncertainty obtained in the value of aπ is lower than in previous results based on the π0 → e+e-γ decay.
