Abstract

We report on a new measurement of the decay K_L → π⁰γγ by the KTeV experiment at Fermilab. We determine the K_L → π⁰γγ branching ratio to be (1.68 ± 0.07 ± 0.08) × 10^-6. Our data show the first evidence for a low-mass γγ signal as predicted by recent script O sign(p⁶) chiral perturbation calculations which include vector meson exchange contributions. From our data, we extract a value for the effective vector coupling a_V = -0.72 ± 0.05 ± 0.06.
