4 Rare Kaon Decays at the Brookhaven Ags
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our research program at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) focuses on rare kaon decays. Only at the AGS intense low-momentum neutral and charged kaon beams are still available today. Though Experiment BNL E-865 finished data-taking in 1998 the analysis of its high statistics data sample on semi-leptonic and leptonic charged kaon decays still supplies novel results. The KOPIO-experiment has been approved for funding by the U.S. National Science Foundation, and its planning concentrates now on the construction of the various detector subsystems and development of a suitable pulsed neutral kaon beam.

Rare Kaon
Recent experiments on rare kaon decays are described, with emphasis on the program at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. New limits on the modes KL + pe and Kr, -v ee and a preliminary new measurement of the Kr. + pp branching ratio are presented from AGS Experiment 791. Other modes, including K+ + x+p’+e-, K+ + r+ + nothing, and KL -+ r’e+e-, which have been t...
متن کاملHigh Intensity Performance of the Brookhaven Ags*,
The Brookhaven AGS provides 24 GeV protons for a multi-user program of fixed-target high energy physics experiments, such as the study of extremely rare Kaon decays. Up to 7x10 protons are slowly extracted over 2.2 seconds each 5.1 seconds. The muon storage ring of the g2 experiment is supplied with bunches of 7x10 protons. Since the completion of the a 1.9 GeV Booster synchrotron and installat...

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...
متن کاملA straw drift chamber spectrometer for studies of rare kaon decays
We describe the design, construction, readout, tests, and performance of planar drift chambers, based on 5mm diameter copperized Mylar and Kapton straws, used in an experimental search for rare kaon decays. The experiment took place in the high-intensity neutral beam at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron of Brookhaven National Laboratory, using a neutral beam stop, two analyzing dipoles, and ...
