  3. Vtd Measurement of Br(KL p0nn) Amplitude of CP-violation in Quark Sector. • The most clean process : 1-2 % theoretical uncertainty • Sensitive to New Physics.

  4. F. Mescia @CKM2006 It gives us strong motivation!

  5. Strategy • Step by Step approach. • E391  Close to GN limit. • J-PARC Step-1 (E14)  First observation. Search for Big enhancement by New Physics. • J-PARC Step-2  > 100 evts • Dedicated beam-line. ( not common target.)

  6. Hadron Experimental Facility Material-life science 500m! T2K(ν) 3GeV Synchrotron(25Hz,1MW) 50GeV Synchrotron (0.75MW) J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) Linac (350m,180MeV) Stage-1: 2x1014 protons on target/spill(=3.7sec), 30GeV

  11. Parameters of beam • Item J-PARC E14 KEK E391a • Primary proton energy 30 GeV 12 GeV • Proton intensity(/spill) 2x1014 2.5x1012 • Spill-length/repetition 0.7s / 3.3s 2s / 4s • Production target Common “T1” Pt rod • Extraction angle 16 degree 4 deg. • KL yield 8.1x106 3.3x105 • Average PKL 2.1 GeV/c 2.6 GeV/c

  12. ` Top view of new KL beamline Detail engineering design is in progress.

  13. Detection Principle ・ Detection of 2 photons from p0 using high-efficiency hermetic calorimeters with well collimated KL beam. • Current upper limit (E391a-Run-I): <2.1x10-7 (90%C.L.) • E14 aims at First Observation(~3.5evts) at J-PARC. • Upgraded E391a-Detector. γ γ

  14. Key issues: • Halo Neutron. • KLp0p0 Background. • Acceptance loss by accidental hits.

  15. Preliminary E391a 2-clusters data (Run-II 1/3 data) Halo neutron is Main Background Source。 PT(GeV/c) Zvtx(cm) Halo neutron

  16. Target simulation : KL/core-n yield KL8×106/spill Momentum of neutron Momentum of KL • softer neutron • n/K=9(42 for E391) •  reduce n-induced BG E14 E391a E391 E14

  19. Control of halo-neutron events by detector side. 1 .Thicker Calorimeter: E391a: 16X0-CsI  E14: 27X0-CsI (loan from KTeV) • Less shower leakage. • Better vertex resolution. + moving to upstream side. In total, ~4x10-5 reduction is expected. 2. Full Active Collar Counter(CC02) E391a: Lead/Scintillator sampling type  E14: CsI crystal. • Full active: higher efficiency of secondary particles detection in the neutron interaction. • Shorter X0/cm: • Most g’s interact before going out CC02. A factor of ~20 reduction Is expected. 3. Careful configuration of detector position. Reconstruction-Vertex distribution. E391a-CC02

  20. Key issues: • Halo Neutron. • Beam-line optimization. • Thicker calorimeter. • Full active heavy crystal for CC02.  Enough reduction is succeeded. • KLp0p0 Background. • Acceptance loss by accidental hits.
