A Measurement of the KL Charge Asymmetry

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2016-08-31 v1

Abstract

We present a measurement of the charge asymmetry δL\delta_L in the mode KLπ±eνK_L \to \pi^{\pm}e^{\mp}\nu based on 298 million analyzed decays. We measure a value of δL=(3322±58(stat)±47(sys))106\delta_L = (3322 \pm 58(stat) \pm 47(sys))\cdot 10^{-6}, in good agreement with previous measurements and 2.4 times more precise than the current best published result. The result is used to place more stringent limits on CPT and ΔS=ΔQ\Delta S = \Delta Q violation in the neutral kaon system.
