Research Abstract

An experiment to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics by measuring the branching ratio of pion decays was performed. Adetector which was built with a large NaI(Tl) single crystal was installed at M13 beam line at TRIUMF, and a physics data taking was performed. A physics analysis with 10% of whole data set was performed, and it is confirmed that the final sensitivity with whole data set will be better than 0.1% in relative error. The physics analysis is expected to take more time since a blind analysis policy is adopted. New upper limits on massive neutrinos were obtained.
