Measurement of the decay rate
The decay rate of the neutral long-lived meson into the final state has been measured with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. Using data collected in 1999, a total of 132 events has been observed with negligible background. The total number of kaons was determined to be . This observation corresponds to a preliminary branching ratio of , where the first error is statistical, the second systematic, and the third error is due to the uncertainty in the normalization.The decay rate of the long-lived neutral meson into the final state has been measured with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS.

Using data collected in 1999, a total of 132 events has been observed with negligible background. The total number of kaons was determined to be 5.1 x 10^10. This observation corresponds to a preliminary branching ratio of Gamma(K_L -> e+ e- e+ e-)/Gamma(K_L -> all) = (3.67 +- 0.32(stat) +- 0.23(sys) +- 0.08(norm)) x 10^-8, where the first error is statistical, the second systematic, and the third error is due to the uncertainty in the normalization
Measurement of the K-L -> e(+)e(-)e(+)e(-) decay rate
The decay rate of the long-lived neutral K meson into the e(+)e(-)e(+)e(-) final state has been measured with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. Using data collected in 1998 and 1999, a total of 200 events has been observed with negligible background. This observation corresponds to a branching ratio of Br(K-L -> e(+)e(-)e(+)e(-)) = (3.30 +/- 0.24(stat)+/- 0.23(syst)+/- 0-10(norm)) x 10(-8). (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
Observation of the decay K-S -> pi(+)pi(-)e(+)e(-)
We present the first observation of the decay K-S -> pi (+)pi (-)e(+)e(-) based upon the data collected in 1998 by the NA48 experiment at CERN. We have identified a clean sample of 56 events with negligible background contamination. Using K-L -> pi (+)pi (-)pi (0)(D) decays as normalization sample, the branching ratio is measured to be BR(K-S -> pi (+)pi (-)e(+)e(-)) = [4.5 +/- 0.7(stat) +/- 0.4(syst)] x 10(-5). This result is in good agreement with the theoretical expectations from the mechanism of inner bremsstrahlung. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
Investigation of K-L,K-s -> pi(+)pi(-)e(+)e(-) decays
The and decay modes have been studied in detail using the NA48 detector at CERN SPS. Based on the data collected during the 1998 and 1999 run periods, a sample of 1162 candidates has been observed with an expected background level of 36.9 events, yielding the branching ratio measurement . The distribution of events in the sincos variable, where is the angle between the and the decay planes in the kaon centre of mass, is found to exhibit a large CP-violating asymmetry with the value %. For the decay channel, 621 candidates have been identified in the 1999 data sample with an estimated background contribution of 0.7 event. The corresponding branching ratio has been determined to be . The combined value of this measurement with the published 1998 result is . No asymmetry is observed in this decay mode. Our results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions based on a phenomenological description of radiative kaon decays. The form factor parameters a/a and in the direct emission process as well as the value of the charge radius have been extracted from the data
Search for the decay K-s -> pi(0)e(+)e(-)
A search for the decay 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 beam, an upper limit for the branching fraction at 90\% confidence level has been obtained
