Measurement of direct photon emission in $K^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^0 \gamma$ decay using stopped positive kaons

The radiative decay $K^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^0 \gamma$ ($K_{\pi 2 \gamma}$) has been measured with stopped positive kaons. A $K_{\pi 2 \gamma}$ sample containing 4k events was analyzed, and the $K_{\pi 2 \gamma}$ branching ratio of the direct photon emission process was determined to be $[6.1\pm2.5({\rm stat})\pm1.9({\rm syst})]\times 10^{-6}$. No interference pattern with internal bremsstrahlung was observed.
