MEAN LIFE-TIME OF THE NEUTRAL PION,
Abstract
The mean life-time of the pi(o) meson is measured by the method of Harris, Orear and Taylor. The decay distance of pi(o)-mesons produced by K sub pi 2-decay at rest (K(+)yields pi (+) + pi(0) and subsequent decay by the Dalitz mode (pi(0) yields e(+) + e(-)+ gamma) is measured. Using Ilford G-5 emulsions, exposed in the 300 MeV/c separated K(+) beam from the Bevatron at Berkeley, 88 of the above events were found. The observed mean pi(0) life-time is (2.8=0.9).10/16S.
