    Abstract

    We present new measurements of the six largest branching fractions of the KL using data collected in 1997 by the KTeV experiment (E832) at Fermilab. The results are B(KL → π±e ∓ν) = 0.4067 ± 0.0011, B(KL → π±μ∓ν) = 0.2701 ± 0.0009, B(KL → π+π-π0) = 0.1252 ± 0.0007, B(KL → π0π 0π0) = 0.1945 ± 0.0018, B(KL → π+π-) = (1.975 ± 0.012) × 10 -3, and B(KL → π0π0) = (0.865 ± 0.010) × 10-3, where statistical and systematic errors have been summed in quadrature. We also determine the CP violation parameter |η+-| to be (2.228 ± 0.010) × 10 -3. Several of these results are not in good agreement with averages of previous measurements.
