Measurement of the branching ratio of the decay KL→ π±e∓ν and extraction of the CKM parameter |Vus|

We present a new measurement of the branching ratio R of the decay K L→ pi;±e∓ν, denoted as Ke3, relative to all charged KL decays with two tracks, based on data taken with the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. We measure R=0.4978±0. 0035. From this we derive the Ke3 branching fraction and the weak cou...
