Ключевое нововведение метода заключается в применении метода кинематической реконструкции в рамках двух различных гипотез: для сигнального канала (ω → π0e+e–) и основного фонового процесса (ω → π+π–π0). Данный подход позволяет эффективно подавлять фон от 3π событий, практически полностью его устраняя, а также приводит к существенному сужению распределения инвариантной массы двух фотонов от распада π⁰ в сигнальных событиях. Более узкий пик массы π⁰ значительно улучшает разделение сигнала от оставшегося квантово-электродинамического фона (e+e– → e+e–γγ). Для демонстрации эффективности методика была применена к части данных с интегральной светимостью 13 pb⁻¹, накопленной в области массы ω-мезона. Проведенный анализ свидетельствует о существенном повышении точности измерения форм-фактора F(q). Разработанная методика позволяет рассчитывать на более точное определение параметра наклона форм-фактора Λ ω−2 после применения к полному массиву данных с интегральной светимостью около 50 pb⁻¹.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This paper presents an improved methodology for measuring the transition electromagnetic form factor in the conversion decay ω → π0e+e– using data collected by the CMD-3 detector at the VEPP-2000 e+e– collider. The key improvement involves the application of a kinematic reconstruction technique under two distinct hypotheses: the signal hypothesis (ω → π0e+e–) and the dominant background hypothesis (ω → π+π–π0). This approach allows for a powerful suppression of 3π background, virtually eliminating it, and significantly narrows the invariant mass distribution of two photons from π0 decay in signal events. The refined π0 mass peak enhances the separation of the signal process from the remaining QED background (e+e– → e+e–γγ). To demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, it was applied to a subset of the data with an integrated luminosity of 13 pb⁻¹, accumulated near ω-meson mass. The analysis shows a significant improvement in the precision of the form factor F(q) measurement. The developed methodology paves the way for a more precise determination of the form factor slope parameter Λ ω−2 when applied to the full dataset, which has an integrated luminosity of approximately 50 pb⁻¹.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>конверсионный распад</kwd><kwd>ω-мезон</kwd><kwd>переходный электромагнитный форм-фактор</kwd><kwd>подавление фона</kwd><kwd>детектор КМД-3</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>conversion decay</kwd><kwd>ω-meson</kwd><kwd>transition electromagnetic form factor</kwd><kwd>background subtraction</kwd><kwd>CMD-3 detector</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Авторы выражают искреннюю благодарность коллективу ВЭПП-2000 за безупречную работу коллайдера в период набора данных.
