The neutral vertex must satisfy thefollowing requests:
• 4 neutral clusters on time(t - r/c) = (t - r/c)2= (t - r/c) = (t - r/c)
• consistency with Kaon time of flight

• We have to inquire Ke3 events with two fake neutral clusters (e.g. radiative + splitting).
• Look to P/E variable to reject K00event.

ConclusionsConclusions
• The measurement method allows to estimate the K003 background contribution directly from data.
• Normalization to 3 events guarantees a cancellation of the systematic effects.
• A second measurement method with normalization to Ke3 events would allow to keep under control the track-to-cluster association efficiency.
• Will benefit of 2 fb-1 statistics.
