  3. Dalitz plot expansion The decay η → 3π violates iso-spin invariance and itis induced dominantly by the strong interaction via the u−d quark mass difference. The Dalitz plot density corresponding to the intrinsic η→ π0 π0 π0 decay amplitude is approximately described by |A|2 ∝1 + 2αz With: Z ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] Ei = Energy of the i-th pion in the ηrest frame. ρ = Distance to the center of Dalitz plot. ρmax = Maximun value of ρ. η−>3π @ KLOE

  5. Sample selection • The cuts used to select:η → π0 π0 π0are: • 7 and only 7 prompt neutral clusters with 21°<θγ<159° • and Eγ> 10 MeV • Opening angle between each couple of photons > 18° • Kinematic Fit with no mass constraint • P(χ2) > 0.01 • 320 MeV < Eγrec < 400 MeV (after kin fit) • The overall common selection efficiency (trigger, reconstruction, EVCL) is ε = (30.30 ± 0.01)% With these cuts the expected contribution from events other than the signal is < 0.1% Frascati 19 Luglio 2007

  6. Matching γ to π0 s • In order to select the best π0 π0 π0 pairing, we introduce a pseudo−χ2 variable for each of the 15 possible pairs, • cutting on: • Minimum χ2 value • Δχ2 between “best” and “second” combination • one can obtain samples with different purity-efficiency Δχ2 Δχ2 min χ2 min χ2

  7. Matching γ to π0 s • In order to select the best π0 π0 π0 pairing, we introduce a pseudo- χ2 variable for each of the 15 possible pairs, • cutting on: • Minimum χ2 value • Δχ2 between “best” and “second” combination • one can obtain samples with different purity-efficiency After pairing we perform kinematic fit with η andπ0 mass constraint η mass:MMC = 547.30 MeV /c2 MData = 547.822 MeV/c2 Δχ2 Δχ2

  9. Fit procedure The fit is done using a binned likelihood approach We obtain an extimate by minimizing Where: • ni= recostructed events • νi= for each MC event (according pure phase space): • Evaluate its ztrue and its zrec (if any!) • Enter an histogram with the value of zrec • Weight the entry with 1 + 2αztrue • Weight the event with the fraction of combinatorial background, for the signal (bkg) if it has correct (wrong) pairing This procedure relies heavily on MC.

  10. Test on fit procedure (I) • We have tested the fit procedure in different ways: • Looking at the result of our fit on MC (αMC = 0.)

  11. Test on fit procedure (II) • We have tested the fit procedure in different ways: • Looking at the result of our fit on MC (αMC = 0.) • Using hit or miss and our reweighting we have generated • samples with different values of α and then we have • compared the two procedures.

  12. Test on fit procedure (III) • We have tested the fit procedure in different ways: • Looking at the result of our fit on MC pure phase space(αMC = 0.) • Using hit or miss and the fit procedure we have generated samples with different values of α and then we have compared the two procedures. • Parameter scan:
