Abstract The $$K^{+} \rightarrow \pi ^{+}\pi ^{0}\pi ^{0}\gamma $$ K + → π + π 0 π 0 γ decay is observed by the OKA collaboration. About 60 events of the decay observed with signal:noise $$\approx 1$$ ≈ 1 . The branching ratio obtained by normalization to $$K^{+} \rightarrow \pi ^{+}\pi ^{0}\pi ^{0}$$ K + → π + π 0 π 0 is measured to be $$(3.7 \pm 0.9(stat) \pm 0.3(syst))\times 10^{-6}$$ ( 3.7 ± 0.9 ( s t a t ) ± 0.3 ( s y s t ) ) × 10 - 6 for $$E_{\gamma }^*>10\,\textrm{MeV}$$ E γ ∗ > 10 MeV . The branching ratio, $$\gamma $$ γ energy spectrum and angular distribution are consistent with ChPT prediction.
