  1. P. Massarotti Charged kaon lifetime

  2. Sammary: • Events selection • Reconstruction efficiency • t measure • Conclusions

  3. K vtx Kmn tag Li K m Strategy • Signal selection • Self triggering muon tag • K track on the signal side • Decay vertex • Signal K extrapolated to the IP. dE/dx correction applied along the path. Li = step length Vertex efficiency and resolution functions needed wrt the proper time of the Kaon

  5. Daughter P* with kaon mass hypothesis Definition of signal sample: • Cut at 100 MeV on boost with 96% efficiency70% signal 30% “bg” (not kaon bg less than 0.2 %)

  20. MCtmeasure and residual evaluation T+MC = (12.36 ± 0.03) ns T+MC = (12.36 ± 0.07) ns

  21. MCtmeasure and residual evaluation T-MC = (12.36 ± 0.03) ns T-MC = (12.37 ± 0.07) ns

  22. Conclusions We have studied decay reconstruction efficiency We have to complete the measure on data (smearing factors) Work is in progress for the “time” measurement
