Abstract
Two recent results on rare kaon decays are presented, based on 2×1011 K± decays recorded by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN SPS in 2003 and 2004. The branching ratio of the rare leptonic decay K±μ±νμe+e has been measured in the region of large e+e invariant mass Mee140 MeV/c2, where low energy QCD contributions become important and can be calculated in the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). This branching ratio is measured to be BR(K±μ±νμe+e|Mee140 MeV/c2 ) =(7.8±0.2)×108.
The K±π±π0e+e rare decay has been observed for the first time, with about 5000 candidates and a 5\% background. The branching ratio in the full kinematic region is measured to be BR(K±π±π0e+e)=(4.22±0.15)×106, in good agreement with ChPT-based theoretical predictions.
