Summary
The π−, π0 mass difference was determined by measuring the momenta of the two internally converted electron positron pairs from π0-decay. A total of 119 events gave a valuem π −−π 0=(4.69±0.07) MeV.
Riassunto
La differenza di massa π−, π0 è stata determinata misurando gli impulsi di due coppie elettrone positrone convertite internamente da decadimento π0. Un totale di 119 eventi diede un valorem π −−π 0=(4.69±0.07) MeV.
