  1. A Proposal to Study Rare Kaon Decays at the CERN SPS Augusto Ceccucci/CERN • Physics Introduction • Rare Kaon Decays in the SM…. • …and Beyond • Flavour as a probe of New Physics complementary to the high energy frontier • Experimental state-of-the-art • Recent results and world-wide perspectives • Description of the CERN proposal P-326 • Technique • Status Munich MPI

  2. Quark Mixing and CP-Violation • Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix: • Non-diagonal (e.g. Vus≠0) •  Flavour Violation • 3 or more quark generations •  CP-Violation in SM (KM) Ng=2 Nphase=0  No CP-Violation Ng=3 Nphase=1  CP-Violation Possible e.g., Im lt= Im Vts*Vtd ≠ 0  CPV Munich MPI

  3. CKM Unitarity and Rare Kaon Decays The unitarity of the CKM matrix can be expressed by triangles in a complex plane. There are six triangles but one is more “triangular”: VudVub*+VcdVcb*+VtdVtb*=0 It is customary to employ the Wolfenstein parameterization: Vus ~lVcb ~ l2 A Vub ~ l3 A(r- ih) Vtd ~ l3 A(1-r- ih) Sensitive to |Vtd| CP Im lt = A2l5h Re lt = A2l5r Munich MPI

  4. Status of Unitarity Triangle Sides vs. CPV Sides+angles Rare kaon decays are loop-dominated. They are a unique probe of the sd transitions and provide independent CKM tests Munich MPI

  5. The four golden modes of Kaon Physics • Short distance dynamics: • W-top quark loops constitute the • dominant contribution: • The EW short-distance amplitude is common in the SM… • …but potentially different beyond SM • Important to address all these decays Adapted from G. Isidori @ Flavour in the LHC era, 5-7 Nov 05, CERN Munich MPI

  6. K→pnn : Theory in Standard Model NLO Calculation: Buchalla & Buras, 1993 charm contribution top contributions The Hadronic Matrix Element is measured and isospin rotated Munich MPI

  7. Predictions in SM This used to be the largest theoretical error (+/- 0.037). It was reduced by a NNLO calculation A. Buras, M. Gorbahn, U. Haisch, U. Nierstehep-ph/0508165) • Standard Model predictions • BR(K+p+nn)  (1.6×10-5)|Vcb|4[sh2+(rc-r)2]  (8.0 ± 1.1)×10-11 • BR(KLp0nn)  (7.6×10-5)|Vcb|4h2  (3.0 ± 0.6)×10-11 The errors are mostly due to the uncertainty of the CKM parameters and not to the hadronic uncertainties Munich MPI

  8. Theory vs. Experiment Adapted from U. Haisch @ Flavour in the LHC era, 6-8 Feb 06, CERN Munich MPI

  9. Intrinsic theory error Combining information from BR(K+→p+nn) and BR(K0→p0nn) one obtains: (Buras et al. hep-ph/0508165) So for a 10% uncertainty on Pc, one can extract, in priciple, a 3.4%exp. determination of sin2b from kaon decays. It is currently 4.6% from B decays Munich MPI

  10. Beyond Standard Model • Compare two scenarios: • Minimal Flavour Violation • All mixing governed by universal CKM matrix • No Extra Complex Phases • Same operators as in SM • Different coefficients • Stringent correlation with B rare decays • New sources of Flavour Symmetry Breaking ~ TeV scale • Extra phases can lead to large deviations from SM predictions, especially for the CP-Violating modes Munich MPI

  33. Straw Tracker Advantages: • can (in principle) operate in vacuum decay volume • can be designed without internal frames and flanges • can work in high rate of hits • good space resolution (~130 m/hit for 9.6 straw) • small amount of material (~0.1% X0 per view) but no previous large straw system has been operated in high vacuum Munich MPI

  34. Downstream straw tracker • 6 chambers with 4 double layers of straw tubes each ( 9.6 mm) • Rate: ~45 KHz per tube (max 0.5 MHz) (m+p) 2.3 m Operate in high vacuum Low X/X0 z y 7.2 m X/X0 ~ 0.1% per view x 130 mm / hit s(P)/P = 0.23%  0.005%P s(q) ~ 50  20 mrad Good space resolution 7.2 m Redundant momentum measurement 2 magnets: 270 and 360 MeV Ptkick 5.4 m 8.8 m 5 cm radius beam holes displaced in the bending plane according to the 75 GeV/c beam path Veto for charged negative particles up to 60 GeV/c Munich MPI

  38. Energy of photons from K+ p+p0 hitting LKr: > 1 GeV GeV NA48 LKr as Photon Veto Consolidation of the safety/control system and read-out under way Munich MPI

  39. Photon E=11 GeV Pion P=42 GeV/c Cluster not reconstructed Eg = 22 GeV Expected position LKr efficiency measured with data K+p+ p0 collected by NA48 in 2004 Events are kinematically selected. p+ track and lower energy g are use to predict the position of the other g K+p+p0p0 Munich MPI

  40. Example: “hadronic” cluster of a photon Expected energy: ~29 GeV Deposited energy: ~9 GeV Maximum energy ~300 MeV Expected g position • Measured LKr inefficiency per photon (Eg > 10 GeV): • h = (2.8 ± 1.1stat ± 2.3syst) × 10-5 (preliminary) Munich MPI

  41. Beam test 2006 • Idea for measuring inefficiency in the range 2 GeV < Eg< 10 GeV • Use of the NA48 set-up. • Photons produced by bremsstrahlung. • SPS can provide a suitable electron beam. Beam test foreseen during the 2006 SPS run Kevlar window Magnet Calorimeter vacuum e- g Electron beam (25 GeV/c) Bremsstrahlung Drift chambers • Calorimeter inefficiency below Eg < 5 GeV is not critical Munich MPI

  42. ANTI-Photon Rings From: Ajimura et al., NIMA 552 (2005) • Two designs under test: • spaghetti (KLOE) • lead/scintillator sandwich (CKM) • Extensive simulation under way • A tagged photon beam is available in Frascati to test existing prototypes Munich MPI

  43. Other Physics Opportunities • The situation is similar to NA48, which was designed to measure “only” e’/e but produced many more measurements • Accumulating ~100 times the flux of NA48/2 will allow us to address, for instance: • Cusp like effects (p-p scattering) • K+ p0 p0 e+n • Lepton Flavour Violation K+ p+ m+ e- , K+p- m+ e+, (Ke2/Km2) • Search for new low mass particles • K+ p+ X • K+p+ p0 P (pseudoscalar sGoldstino) • Study rare p+ & p0 decays • Improve greatly on rare radiative kaon decays • Compare K+ and K- (alternating beam polarity) • K+/- p+/-p0g(CPV interference) • T-odd Correlations in Kl4 • And possibly, given the quality of the detector, topics in hadron spectroscopy Munich MPI

  44. Status of P-326 (a.k.a. NA48/3) • Presented at the CERN SPSC in September 2005 • Strong endorsement of the Physics Case • Review of the proposed technique • 2006 R&D plan endorsed by CERN RB on December 05 • Resources being appropriated • Beam Test foreseen in Sept-Oct 2006 • Measure LKr efficiency for 1-10 GeV photons • Equip a CEDAR counter with fast read-out • Collaboration still open to new groups • RICH responsibility • Seeking full approval by end of 2006…. • Enter CERN Medium Term Plan • …to be able to start data taking some time in 2009-2010 Munich MPI

  45. Summary • Clear physics case • The discovery of New Physics will dramatically increase the motivation for searches of new flavour phenomena • Healthy competition worldwide: • J-PARC   SPS • Exploit synergies and existing infrastructures NA48 e’/e  NA48/1 KS rare decays  NA48/2 Dg/g in K  3p P-326 K+p+nn • SPS • SPS used as LHC injector (so it will run in the future) • No flagrant time overlap with CNGS • P-326 fully compatible with the rest of CERN fixed target because P-326 needs only ~1/20 of the SPS protons • Join us!
