Kaon Physics at Bnl
نویسنده
چکیده
The rare kaon decay program at BNL is summarized. A brief review of recent results is provided along with a discussion of prospects for the future of this program. The primary focus is the two golden modes: K + → π + νν and K • L → π • νν. The first step in an ambitious program to precisely measure both branching ratios has been successfully completed with the observation of two K + → π + νν events by E787. The E949 experiment is poised to reach an order of magnitude further in sensitivity and to observe ∼10 Standard Model events.

Future kaon decay programs at BNL and FNAL are discussed. The primary focus of these programs is the measurement of the golden modes, K • L → π • νν and K + → π + νν. The observation of K + → π + νν by E787 at BNL is the first step in a series of measurements which will completely determine the unitarity triangle within the kaon system. The next step after E787 in the measurement of B(K + → π +...

متن کاملFor Publisher’s use RARE KAON DECAY FROM E949 AT BNL: K + → π + ν¯ν
The understanding of flavor dynamics is of fundamental importance in elementary particle physics. The study of K and B decays plays a crucial role in this respect. In particular, the precise measurement of the rare kaon decays K → πνν and K L → πνν is regarded as a theoretical ideal for the understanding of CP violation in the Standard Model (SM). These modes provide a clean environment for ext...
