Three events for the decay K+→π+ν¯ν have been observed in the pion momentum region below the K+→π+π0 peak, 140<Pπ<199 MeV/c, with an estimated background of 0.93±0.17(stat.)+0.32−0.24(syst.) events. Combining this observation with previously reported results yields a branching ratio of B(K+→π+ν¯ν)=(1.73+1.15−1.05)×10−10 consistent with the standard model prediction.Received 18 August 2008DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.191802©2008 American …
