Abstract

A sample of almost 2000 K± → π±π0e+e rare decays with a background contamination below 3% is observed for the first time by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN/SPS. The preliminary branching ratio in the full kinematic region is obtained to be BR(K± → π±π0e+e) = (4.06 ± 0.17) × 106 by analyzing the data set recorded in 3-month NA48/2 run during 2003. The measured value is in agreement with the theoretical prediction within one standard deviation.
