  2. C. Dukes, University of Virginia D. Jaffe, BNL. S. Chen, TRIUMF G. Lim KEK P. Cooper, FNAL CKM, KOPIO, and KEK-391 collaborations. Lots of fine material borrowed from… R. Tschirhart, Fermilab. XXX SLAC Summer Institute.

  3. B(K+ -> p+nn)=1.57+1.75-0.82x10-10 R. Tschirhart, Fermilab. XXX SLAC Summer Institute.

  4. The K pll decay modes allow access to quark level physics since dependence on hadronic physics can be removed by normalizing to the well measured K l+pn processes. This is new ground for kaon physics. Unfortunately the pl+l- final states, while easier to measure, have correspondingly high levels of radiative backgrounds, (e.g. KL e+e-gg) Which leads us to the K pnn challenge… Quantitative Tests of the CKM Formalism. R. Tschirhart, Fermilab. XXX SLAC Summer Institute.

  5. K pnn in the Standard Model • No Radiative Backgrounds. (& No radiative signal!) • Leading diagrams Direct sensitivity toVtd, and BSM physics such as SUSY that can be present in these loops. Dressing up into hadrons: R. Tschirhart, Fermilab. XXX SLAC Summer Institute.

  12. CKM structure of these modes… Vtd Normalize to semileptonic process. R. Tschirhart, Fermilab. XXX SLAC Summer Institute.

  13. Expectation and Measurements… Uncertainty dominated by current errors on A,r, and h. R. Tschirhart, Fermilab. XXX SLAC Summer Institute.

  14. BNL E787 completed. Flux of 5.9x1012 stopped kaons analyzed. Two candidate events found with a measured background of 0.15+/-0.05 events corresponding to: BNL E949 running, upgrade of E787. Expect an effective flux of 40x1012 stopped kaons corresponding to 5-10 SM events. Fermilab CKM (Charged Kaons at the Main injector) approved. Decay in-flight technique with a goal of 100 SM events over 10 background. This will match expected theory uncertainty. Physics Results in 200X. The K+p+nn Experimental Program B(K+p+nn) = (1.57+1.75-0.82) x10-10 R. Tschirhart, Fermilab. XXX SLAC Summer Institute.

  23. Validating analysis cut inversion to determine background estimates from the data: 2-body pp from K+ p+p0 decays: pp before g-veto. pp after g-veto. (1-ep0 = 1.7x10-7 ) R. Tschirhart, Fermilab. XXX SLAC Summer Institute.

  35. KTeV search complete. Flux of 0.33x1012 in-flight kaon decays analyzed. No events observed. Limit (90% CL) of <5.9x10-7 established. Technique required Dalitz decay of p0 (p0 e+e-g) to control backgrounds to 0.1 event level. New techniques required to reach SM level. KEK-E391a in construction, commissioning this Fall. Technique is based on fully hermetic photon veto coverage. Expected sensitivity of 1x10-10. This is still x30 above SM level, but this experiment is vitalto establish hermetic photon veto techniques. Proposed continuation to JHF in 200X. BNL KOPIO experiment approved. Novel techniques to measure K0 momentum and photon directions. Expected sensitivity of 50 SM events over a background of ~20 events. Physics Results in 200X. The KLp0nn Experimental Program R. Tschirhart, Fermilab. XXX SLAC Summer Institute.

  48. Rare kaon physics has matured to the point where the step from proven 1x10-11sensitivity to 1x10-12 has been sensibly argued. This sensitivity is the key that will unlock the door to K pnn. This step is fueled by ever increasing proton drivers (7x1013 protons/pulse with the AGS!), very clean kaon beams, and innovative detector technologies. The CKM, KOPIO, and E391@JHF form a suite of promising experiments that can reach the 1x10-12 frontier in this decade. Conclusions R. Tschirhart, Fermilab. XXX SLAC Summer Institute.
