Abstract

We present the results of a measurement of the Kμ30Ke30 branching ratio, obtained from a study of KL0 decays using a multiwire-proportional-chamber spectrometer. The Kμ30 and Ke30 events were separated by muon range counters, and Kπ30 events were separated from the Ke30 sample kinematically. From a sample of approximately 10000 Kμ30 and Ke30 events, we obtain a value of the branching ratio Γ(Kμ30)Γ(Ke30)=0.662±0.037.
