6 NA48/1 Motivations for a new BR(K S  ) measurement It is a good test for ChPT (PRD 49 (1994) 2346) Experimental value of the BR changed along the years From 2003 it is known with a small error (3%) : BR(K S   ) = (2.71 ± 0.06 ± 0.04) x 10 -6 due to a measurement of NA48/1 collaboration Differs from ChPT O(p 4 ) by 30% (possible large O(p 6 ) contribution). In NA48, the K L  background is a relevant component of the fit. In KLOE, the background from K L is reduced to 0 (tagging). First measurement of this decay with a pure K S beam.

18 EPS 2007, Manchester M. Martini 19/07/2007 CPTV and quantum gravity |  | could be at most: In presence of decoherence and CPT violation induced by quantum gravity (CPT operator “ill- defined”) the definition of the particle-antiparticle states could be modified. This in turn could induce a breakdown of the correlations imposed by Bose statistics (EPR correlations) to the kaon state [Bernabeu, et al.

22 - BR obtained by NA48 from a fit to the Z vertex distribution (K L   background is a relevant component in the fit) - In KLOE there is not background from K L   so we can perform the first measurement of this decay with a pure K S beam - We can reach an accuracy of about 5-6%, twice larger than NA48 but with completely different systematics and background..

23 QCAL detector The QCAL tile calorimeters of KLOE are two compact detectors placed closed to the interaction point and surrounding the focalization quadrupoles. Their purpose is to increase the hermiticity of KLOE calorimeter. Each QCAL consists of a sampling structure of lead plates and 1mm scintillator tiles. EPS 2007, Manchester M. Martini 19/07/2007

38 Fast simulation of Background To study the fit uncertainty as a function of MC statistics we have developed a method based on “hit or miss”. The procedure is only based on MC signal and background. Recipe for two components: Use the original 2d-distribution from signal and bkg, to create 2 smoothed distribution; Use hit or miss to create N different distributions for signal and background of different “fast” MC statistics; Create a fake data distribution using signal and bkg from hit or miss with statistics as in data sample; Repeat the fit procedure N times increasing the “fast” MC statistics.
