Description

The NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS has collected about 10**6 K± decays into pi+ pi- e± ν (Ke4) in 2003 and 2004. The analysis of a partial sample of ~500000 such events allows a precise measurement of the decay parameters. The form factors of the reaction and their dependence with dipion and dilepton masses have been measured. Thanks to a sizeable acceptance at large Mpipi and the very good resolution of the NA48 detector, a high sensitivity to the pi-pi scattering lengths a00 and a02 is achieved. These almost model independent measurements can be confronted with the predictions from different calculations, in particular within the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory.
