Importance of Villars SPSC Meeting From the address of R. Aymar, CERN CEO, to the CERN staff on 13/1/04: “… 4. Another goal [for 2004-2010] would be: • To define possible new fixed-target experiments, highly praised at another “Cogne” meeting in September 2004 • To decide in 2006 on the possible planning and the start of implementation of the Linac 4 and/or any proposed R&D or experiment, depending on the funds availableor expected at that time...” A. Ceccucci, CERN
Implications of Villars • Focus on a programme that can have a big impact (don’t be modest): • The reviewers will have a close look at the physics potential • Aim to a 10% measurement of |Vtd| via K+→p+n n • Since the time is very tight, use what is best best known • Start from NA48/2 and extrapolate to the ultimate experiment • To have a proposal evaluated by a Scientific Committee takes time • To seek approval in 2006 and take data in 2008 one has to act now • Express Interest now in order to protect assets such as: • Availability of ECN3 (the only high radiation area for SPS) • Availability of high intensity, slowly extracted protons from SPS • LKr calorimeter • Beam test as many things as possible in 2004 before the planned stop of the SPS in 2005 (2006?) A. Ceccucci, CERN
K+→p+nn : Theory • The hadronic matrix element can be extracted from • the well measuredK+→p0 e n • No long distance contributions QCD NLO Buchalla, Buras 1999 As an example, within the SM, using ACP(J/KS) and ek as input: BR(K+→ pnn) = 7.1 ± 1.0 × 10-11 (Kettell, Nguyen, Landsberg, hep-ph/0212321) A.

NA48/3: Layout 0.0 • Unseparated, positive beam of 75 GeV/c with DP/P~1% • Detectors upstream of the decay region: • Differential Cherenkov counter (CEDAR) to positively identify kaons • Beam spectrometer to make a redundant momentum measurement and to measure the kaon direction (KABES) • It requires ~100 ps time resolution. We are investigating: • Micromega-type chambers (already employed in NA48/2) • Silicon micro-pixel detectors • Detectors Downstream of the decay region • Double magnetic spectrometer for redundancy (with “Chinese” copy of NA48 dipole) • Charged hodoscope for timing • Hermetic photon vetoes (upgrade NA48 ring anti-counters) • High performance forward photon veto (NA48 LKr calorimeter) • Finely segmented Hadron Calorimeter/Muon veto A.

NA48/3: Beam layout A. Ceccucci, CERN
Some documentation is available on the Web (http://cern.ch/doble) : Beam Documentation for NA48 Please find below the updated geometry files (Beatch) for the P42 and K12 beams to NA48: . . . . . . . K12HIKA (dated 18/03/04) represents the latest tentative attempt to describe the layout of a high- acceptance, small momentum-bite (75.00.7 GeV/c) K+ beam for a possible future K+ -> pi+ nu nubar experiment (NA48/3). The beam is derived from the existing target station T10 along the present K12 beam line of length 102.0m to the exit of the final collimator. It features large-acceptance, radiation-resistant quadrupoles, a front-end achromat for momentum definition, a beam cleaning stage and a parallel section, incorporating a CEDAR differential Cerenkov counter to tag the K+, followed by a second achromat accommodating 3 spectrometer+tracking stations: KABES(1),(2)+(3). For the measurement of the decay pi+, the last 12m section of the decay-vacuum tank (blue tube) has been replaced by an additional (first) spectrometer comprising detectors: WC 1,2, 4 fore and aft of a (new) MNP33-1 magnet, followed by the present (second) spectrometer comprising: WC 3, 5,6 and the present MNP33-2 magnet, giving pT-kicks of +-210 MeV/c (deflecting the beam by +-2.8mrad.), respectively, resulting in a ~35 mm parallel displacement inside the beam tube. Photon veto counters with radial coverage of, respectively, 40 < r < 90mm (PHOT.VETO1) and r < 90mm (PHOT.2) are shown in front of the Kevlar window and at the end of the hall - following a ~10 mrad. beam deflecting magnet (MBPL101245) installed in place of the HAC.
