摘要

A measurement of the vector to pseudoscalar conversion decay phi -> pi(0)e(+)e(-) with the KLOE experiment is presented. A sample of similar to 9500 signal events was selected from a data set of 1.7 fb(-1) of e(+)e(-) collisions at root s similar to m(phi) collected at the DA Phi NE e(+)e(-) collider. These events were used to perform the first measurement of the transition form factor vertical bar F(phi pi)0(q(2))vertical bar and a new measurement of the branching ratio of the decay: BR (phi -> pi(0)e(+)e(-)) = (1.35 +/- 0.05(-0.10)(+0.05)) x 10(-5). The result improves significantly on previous measurements and is in agreement with theoretical predictions.
