High Energy Physics - Experiment
The Dalitz decay $π^0 \to e^+e^-γ$ has been measured with the highest statistical accuracy obtained so far in the $γp\to π^0 p$ reaction with the A2 tagged-photon facility at the Mainz Microtron, MAMI. The value of the slope parameter for the $π^0$ electromagnetic transition form factor, $a_π=0.0315\pm 0.0026_{\mathrm{stat}}\pm 0.0010_{\mathrm{syst}}$, is obtained from the analysis of $2.4\times10^6$ $π^0 \to e^+e^-γ$ observed decays. Within experimental uncertainties, it is in agreement with existing measurements and theoretical calculations, with its own uncertainty being smaller than previous results based on the analysis of $π^0\to e^+e^-γ$ decays.
