Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the rare Kaon decay experiment, which utilizes the J-PARC accelerator, the physics analysis of the data taken in 2013 for 100 hours was performed. The sensitivity equivalent to the current world record was achieved as the result. The analysis also revealed that background rejection is necessary to proceed to further sensitivity, especially for the backgrounds due to neutron interactions. After developing and implementing devices and methods to evaluate the quality of the neutral beam, data taking was resumed in 2015. Data amount taken in 2015 corresponds to improvement of the sensitivity by a factor of 20, compared with current world records. Combined with data for background evaluation, the data analysis is ongoing to extract a new result.
