Measurement of the KL meson lifetime with the KLOE detector
2005
Physics Letters B
We present a measurement of the KL lifetime using the KLOE detector. From a sample of 4 x 10^8 KS KL pairs following the reaction e+ e- -> phi -> KS KL we select 15 x 10^6 KL -> p0 p0 p0 decays tagged by KS -> pi+ pi- events. From a fit of the proper time distribution we find tau_L = (50.92 +- 0.17stat +- 0.25syst) ns. This is the most precise measurement of the KL lifetime performed to date.
