Summary
The decay rate for K+→π++e++e− is examined and is found to depend strongly upon the pion electromagnetic form factor. The branching ratio is estimated to be about 10−6.
Riassunto
Si esamina il rapporto di decadimento per K+→π++e++e− e si trova che dipende strettamente dal fattore di forma elettromagnetico del pione. Si valuta il rapporto di branching a circa 10−6.
