摘要
More than 400 K+ --> pi(+) mu(+) mu(-) events were observed in a rare K+ decay experiment at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. Normalized to the K+ --> pi(+) pi(+) pi(-) decay, the branching ratio is determined to be [9.22 +/- 0.60(stat) +/- 0.49(syst)] X 10(-8). This branching ratio and the mu mu mass spectrum is in very good agreement with the measurement of the K+ --> pi(+) e(+) e(-) decay, but deviates significantly from the previous measurement.
