Outline of Final Research Achievements

The new physics is lately necessary to explain matters which cannot be explained by the elementary particles theory, so-called “Standard theory”. We performed the J-PARC E36 experiment by using the high intensity accelerator to find out the new physics. The E36 experiment precisely measured the decay ratio (Rk) of the two-body decay channels of the K meson.
This work succeeded to enhance the performance of the aerogel Cherenkov detector to distinguish the decay particles by changing the parameters of this detector. This detector was installed to the E36 counter system, and we finally accomplished the experimental data acquisition.
