  2. Observing KL0 • Poor kinematic signature: 3-body decay • Neutral initial and final states • Only outgoing 0gg is observable • SM prediction Br(KL0) = 3x10-11 • Main background is KL0 0 with Br=9.3x10-4 which implies a need for suppression of >7x107 “Experimentally, the problems are perhaps best represented by the statement that nobody has shown that a measurement of this decay is absolutely impossible” F.J.Gilman, “CP violation in Rare K Decays”, Blois CP Violations 1989:481-496 David E.

Jaffe 2005 RHIC & AGS Users’ meeting

  24. The Challenge of KOPIO _ • B(KL0) ~ 310-11, need huge flux of K’s • rates inevitably rather high • Kinematic signature weak (2 particles undetectable) • Backgrounds with 0 up to 1010 times larger • Veto inefficiency on extra particles must be 10-4 • Huge flux of neutrons in beam • can make 0 off residual gas – require high vacuum • halo must be very small • hermeticity requires photon veto in this beam • Need convincing measurement of background David E. Jaffe 2005 RHIC & AGS Users’ meeting

  25. KOPIO Technique • High intensity micro-bunched beam from the AGS • Measure everything! (energy, position, angle, time) • Eliminate extra charged particles or photons • KOPIO: p0 inefficiency < 10-8 • Suppress backgrounds • Predict backgrounds from data:dual cuts • Use “blind” analysis techniques • Test predictions “outside the box” • Weight candidate events with S/N likelihood function David E. Jaffe 2005 RHIC & AGS Users’ meeting

  26. 40 ns between microbunches Need AGS to provide • Proton Beam • 100TP/spill (upgraded from present 70TP) • ~5s spill, 2.3s interspill • Microbunching • Extract debunched beam resonantly between empty buckets • 25MHz frequency • 200ps bunch width • 10-3 interbunch extinction • Kaon Beam • 42.5o take-off angle • Soft momentum spectrum • 0.5-1.5 GeV/c • 3108 KL/spill • 8% decay • 10 GHz neutrons =200 ps David E.
