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 Mee≥140 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−|Mee≥140 MeV/c2 ) =(7.8±0.2)×10−8.
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)×10−6, in good agreement with ChPT-based theoretical predictions.
