• Flavor Physics– Direct CP violation.

– Br(KL0)

• :Complex phase in CKM (Height of unitary triangle)

• Beyond the SM– Rare FCNC process (highly suppressed in SM).

• Br(KL0)=(2.8 0.4) 10-11

– Very Sensitive to new physics(TeV-Scale Physics).

• Small theoretical uncertainty– Short distance physics (>99% due to t quark) 2% uncertainty in (Br ) Golden mode.

We fixed the beamline design and fabrication is on-going.


halo-n surpression• E391 : core tail : 10-3 level

• KOTO : : 10-4 level– softer neutron momentum.– beamline design

Detector UpgradeNCC

Increase Veto PerformanceReduce halo-n affectionCope with high rate

• NCC : move to upstream, full active pure-CsI, WLS fiber readout. – To reduce halo neutron BG and monitor halo-n itself in stew.

• CsI 7730cm2.52.550cm– Reduce inefficiency, improve energy resolution, discrimination of fusion– CW base with amp. to reduce heat and increase gain.

• CV : 2-layer design Scintillator + WLS fiber + MPPC (light, space, cost)• BHPV : Pb converter + Aerogel Cerenkov radiator + winstone cone light collection.

• (single rate@E391 is ~1MHz ~40MHz @J-PARC impossible totally different.) • MB : increase the thickness To reduce the inefficiency








Summary and prospects• KOTO experiment

to measure Br(KL )• Neutral beamline design is fixed and

fabrication is on-going and delivery and construction in this FY.

• Beamline survey in ~Oct. 2009 with the BL.• Detector upgrade is being designed and

prototype is made and tested toward Engineering run in 2010 and Physics run in 2011.
