Physics Motivation for Kpi0nunu

• KL0– “direct” CP violation– “gold-plated” mode :

small theoretical uncertainty– measures eta of CKM matrix– small BR : 2.5x10-11

• Sensitive to…– precise check of standard model– sensitive to new physics

Introduction

E391a Experiment

• E391a– KL→π0νν measurement @ KEK 12GeV PS

– pilot experiment for J-PARC E14– Three data taking

• Run1 : Feb 2004 – Jul 2004• Run2 : Feb 2005 – Apr 2005• Run3 : Nov 2005 – Dec 2005

• Run2 Result– Blind analysis– No events found in the signal box– Upper limit : 6.7x10-8 (90% C.L.)

(Phys.Rev.Lett. 100 201802, 2008. )

Principle of E391a Experiment

• E391a principle

1. require (0)2 + nothing else CsI calorimeter (2 detection) hermetic veto system

2. reconstruct decay vertex

assuming 0 mass M = M0

3. requre missming pT & vertex

Acceptance Study with Run2 Data

• To get more acceptance…– try to see Run2 data with opened box

• Acceptance list (veto)– single hit CsI : 64.4%– MainBarrel : 79.0%– ChargedVeto : 82.9%

• Acceptance list (kinematic cuts)– -RMS : 57.9%– 0 kinematics : 77.7%

-RMS cut has the largest acceptance loss try to loosen this cut and see other cuts

Optimization : Get Further from Run2 Analysis

16

• -RMS cut– cut for cluster shape on CsI– to reject fusion cluster

• Fusion cluster– gamma + gamma : KL 20 BG

• which effectively results in photon inefficiency– gamma + neutron : “CV halo neutron BG”

• which results in 0 misreconstruction

• Mechanism of CV-bg1. halo neutron hits on CV

2. create 0 + something

3. misreconstruct 2 to signal box

Alternative to RMS cut : Fusion-NN Cut

• -RMS cut

– requires cluster RMS smaller than 4cm

• Fusion Neural Network cut– study with K30 MC– 0 : fusion like, 1 : normal– requires >0.7 for NN val.

Improved Neutron MC

For getting better understanding to neutron BG…• trying FLUKA model for halo-n MC

– better estimation for hadronic interaction

• Recycling Method– recycle MC seed for “dangerous” events– speeding up MC (need 2weeks for Run3 data equivalent)

Optimization : Other Analysis Effort in Run3

21

Summary

• E391a experiment – KL 0 measurement @ KEK 12GeV PS

– Now, Run3 analysis is ongoing

• Status of Run3 analysis– calibration & stability

– KL flux estimation

• To get further from Run2– Run2 opened box analysis– better halo neutron MC

Features of E391a apparatus

• Decay region– High vacuum: 10-5 Pa

• to suppress the backgroundfrom interactions w/ residual gas

• Detector components– Set in the vacuum: 0.1 Pa

• separating the decay regionfrom the detector regionwith “membrane”: 0.2mmt film
