摘要
We have searched for the K+ -> pi(+)gamma gamma decay in the kinematic region with pi(+) momentum close to the end point. No events were observed, and the 90% confidence-level upper limit on the partial branching ratio was obtained, B (K+ -> pi(+)gamma gamma, P > 213 MeV/c) < 8.3 x 10(-9) under the assumption of chiral perturbation theory including next-to-leading order "unitarity" corrections. The same data were used to determine an upper limit on the K+ -> pi(+)gamma branching ratio of 2.3 x 10(-9) at the 90% confidence level. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
