Preliminary Results on Cp-violating Phenomena in the Ktev Experiment at Fermilab

چکیده
These proceedings will discuss some preliminary results from the KTeV experiment at Fermilab, with an emphasis on CP-violation in the kaon system. Direct CP-violating topics include the measurement of Re( 0= ) and searches for the decays KL ! 0 and KL ! e e . A new indirect CP-violating observable in the decay KL ! + ee is also discussed.

Status of the KTeV Experiment at Fermilab
The primary goal of the KTeV experiment is the search for direct CP violation in the neutral kaon system. It is believed that CP is violated through two different processes. The first process has been observed and has been termed indirect CP violation. It is the result of mixing in the mass matrix through K − K mixing. The second process, called direct CP violation, occurs in the decay amplitud...
متن کاملSearch for the Decay KL → π 0 e + e −
We report on a search for the decay KL → πee carried out by the KTeV/E799 experiment at Fermilab. This decay is expected to have a significant CP violating contribution and the measurement of its branching ratio could support the CKM mechanism for CP violation or could point to new physics. Two events were observed in the 1997 data with an expected background of 1.06 ± 0.41 events, and we set a...
متن کاملNew Results in Kaon Physics from Na48 and Ktev
In the recent year many new results from kaon decays have been reported from both the NA48 experiment at CERN and the KTeV experiment at Fermilab. Both experiments have new and improved measurements of the parameter Re( ′/ ) of direct CP violation in the neutral kaon system. Also several new results on rare and very rare KL decays were reported. In addition, the NA48 collaboration has performed...
متن کاملMeasurement of Direct Cp Violation by the Na48 Experiment at Cern
CP violation occurs in the Standard Model through the imaginary phase in the CKM mixing matrix. An alternative mechanism, proposed shortly after the discovery of the effect, is a superweak interaction. The latter can be ruled out by experimental observation of direct CP violation, parametrized by ε. Theoretical calculations of ε within the Standard Model are hard, but most predictions give ε/ε ...
متن کاملAn Expression of Interest to Detect and Measure the Direct CP Violating Decay K L → π 0 νν and Other Rare Decays at Fermilab Using the Main Injector September 22 , 1997 The KAMI Collaboration
We, the KAMI (Kaons At the Main Injector) collaboration, express our interest to continue the experimental program of rare kaon decay physics at Fermilab using the Main Injector. The 120 GeV Main Injector beam will provide neutral kaon beams which are two orders of magnitude more intense than those currently available at Fermilab. This dramatic increase in flux will allow us to study direct CP ...
