The observed beta asymmetry does not change sign with reversal of the direction of the demagnetization field, indicating that it is not caused by remanent magnetization in the sample.

The experimental layout is shown in relation to the beam in Fig. 1. The detector for the decay products consisted of two spectrometers each composed of two spark chambers for track delineation separated by a magnetic field of 178 kG-in. The axis of each spectrometer was in the horizontal plane and each subtended an average solid angle of 0. 7&& 10 K02 steradians. The squark chambers were triggered on a coincidence between water Cherenkov and scintillation counters posiDetector tioned immediately behind the spectrometers.

To minimize interactions K2' decays were observed from a volume of He gas at nearly STP.

DECAY OF THE

MESON*1

J. H.

J. W.

Cronin,

V. L. Fitch, and R. Turlay~ Princeton, New Jersey


The analysis program computed the vector momentum of each charged particle observed in the decay and the invariant mass, m*, assuming each charged particle had the mass of the charged pion. In this detector the Ke3 decay leads to a distribution in m* ranging from 280 MeV to -536 MeV; the K&3, from 280 to -516; and the K&3, from 280 to 363 MeV. We emphasize that m* equal to the E' mass is not a preferred result when the three-body decays are analyzed in this way. In addition, the vector sum of the two momenta and the angle, |9, between it and the direction of the K, beam were determined. This angle should be zero for two-body decay and is, in general, different from zero for three-body

This Letter reports the results of experimental studies designed to search for the 2m decay of the K, meson. Several previous experiments have served"~ to set an upper limit of 1/300 for the fraction of K2 's which decay into two charged pions. The present experiment, using spark chamber techniques, proposed to extend this limit. In this measurement, K,' mesons were produced at the Brookhaven AGS in an internal Be target bombarded by 30-BeV protons. A neutral beam was defined at 30 degrees relative to the 1 1 circulating protons by a 1&-in. x 12-in. x 48-in. collimator at an average distance of 14.5 ft. from the internal target. This collimator was followed by a sweeping magnet of 512 kG-in. at -20 ft. . and a 6-in. x 6-in. x 48-in. collimator at 55 ft. A 1~-in. thickness of Pb was placed in front of the first collimator to attenuate the gamma rays in the beam.

The average of the distribution of masses of those events in Fig. 3 with cos8 &0.99999 is found to be 499. 1 + 0.8 MeV. A corresponding calculation has been made for the tungsten data resulting in a mean mass of 498. 1 + 0.4. The difference is 1.0+0.9 MeV. Alternately we may take the mass of the E' to be known and compute the mass of the secondaries for two-body decay. Again restricting our attention to those events with cos0&0. 99999 and assuming one of the secondaries to be a pion, the mass of the other particle is determined to be 137.4+ 1.8. Fitted to a Gaussian shape the forward peak in Fig. 3 has a standard deviation of 4.0 + 0.7 milliradians to be compared with 3.4+ 0.3 milliradians for the tungsten. The events from the He gas appear identical with those from the coherent regeneration in tungsten in both mass and angular spread. 17 The relative efficiency for detection of the three-body

suits from the more accurate measuring machine. The angular distribution from three mass ranges are shown; one above, one below, and one encompassing the mass of the neutral K meson. The average of the distribution of masses of those events in Fig. 3 with cos8 &0.99999 is found to be 499. 1 + 0.8 MeV. A corresponding calculation has been made for the tungsten data resulting in a mean mass of 498. 1 + 0.4. The difference is 1.0+0.9 MeV. Alternately we may take the mass of the E' to be known and compute the mass of the secondaries for two-body decay. Again restricting our attention to those events with cos0&0. 99999 and assuming one of the secondaries to be a pion, the mass of the other particle is determined to be 137.4+ 1.8. Fitted to a Gaussian shape the forward peak in Fig. 3 has a standard deviation of 4.0 + 0.7 milliradians to be compared with 3.4+ 0.3 milliradians for the tungsten. The events from the He gas appear identical with those from the coherent regeneration in tungsten in both mass and angular spread. 17 The relative efficiency for detection of the three-body
