Study of the Decay phi --> pi0 pi0 gamma with the KLOE Detector

Abstract

We have measured the branching ratio BR(phi --> pi0 pi0 gamma) with the KLOE detector using a sample of ~5x10^7 phi decays. phi mesons are produced at DAFNE, the Frascati phi-factory. We find BR(phi --> pi0 pi0 gamma) = (1.09 +- 0.03 (stat) +- 0.05 (syst))x10^-4. We fit the two--pion mass spectrum to models to disentangle contributions from various sources.
