Abstract

The NA48 experiment at CERN has performed a new measurement of direct CP violation, based on data taken in 1997 by simultaneously collecting K L and K S decays into π 0 π 0 and π + π −. The result for the CP violating parameter Re (ε ′/ε) is (18.5±4.5(stat)±5.8(syst))×10 −4.

Highlights

  • CP violation has been observed so far only in the decays of neutral kaons w1x

  • The NA48 experiment at CERN has performed a new measurement of direct CP violation

  • KS decays into p 0p
