description

In 1999 the NA48 experiment at CERN had two short data taking periods (8h and 40h) with a high intensity KS beam. Together with the KS mesons a large number of neutral hyperons, e.g. Λ and Ξ0, are produced. During these periods a large sample of Ξ0 decays was collected. About 115,000 events of the decay mode Ξ0 → Λπ0, about 500 of Ξ0 → Λγ, about 400 of Ξ0 → Σ0γ and about 60 events of Ξ0 → Σ+ e have been reconstructed. The status of the analyses of the above decay modes is presented.
