Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To search for new physics beyond the standard model, that breaks the CP symmetry, we will search for a rare KL decay mode using the J-PARC high intensity proton accelerator. We developed various new detectors for the new experiment, and started taking data. We showed that the new experiment has 2 orders of magnitude higher sensitivity than the previous experiment. We also found a new type of background events, and developed various techniques to suppress it. We plan to reach the original goal by collecting data with an increasing beam power, despite a 3 years of delay caused by the earthquake and a radiation accident.
