Abstract

We consider a process KLe5(KLπ0π0π±eν)K_{L e5} ( K_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{0} \pi^{0} \pi^{\pm} e^{\mp} \nu ) as a standard model background to the experiment KLπ0μ±eK_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{0} \mu^{\pm} e^{\mp}, which seeks for possible violation of lepton family number. Using the lowest order chiral lagrangian, we find that the branching ratio for KLπ0π0π±eνK_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{0} \pi^{0} \pi^{\pm} e^{\mp} \nu to be 6.2×10126.2 \times 10^{-12}. A similar decay KLπππ±e±νK_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{\mp} \pi^{\mp} \pi^{\pm} e^{\pm} \nu has a branching ratio, 1.7×10111.7 \times 10^{-11}.
