  25. charged Ke4 decays K+/-p+p-e+/-n • experimental observation of quark-antiquark condensate • s-wave scattering length a00 in pp-scattering at low energy • earlier experiments statistically and systematically limited • Rosselet et al., 1977 • Brookhaven, 2001 • neutral Ke4-decay (K0L p0 p-/+ e+/- n ) was studied by the Vienna group (Laurenz Widhalm, Heinz Dibon) Manfred Jeitler, Institute of High Energy Physics, Vienna: The NA48 experimentInnsbruck, 26 March 2004

  26. future plans: K+→ p +nn • so far, three events seen at BNL (E787 and E949) • decay established but not enough statistics to check Standard Model • plans to collect ~100 events at FNAL (CKM experiment): financial difficulties • idea to use CKM’s expertise and parts of the NA48 detector at CERN SM prediction: BR(K+→ p +nn) = 7.1 ± 1.0 × 10-11 Manfred Jeitler, Institute of High Energy Physics, Vienna: The NA48 experimentInnsbruck, 26 March 2004

  27. Conclusion:NA48 has yielded an unexpectedly large amount of valuable results.....and may still continue to do so!

  29. KS p0p0p0 • special interest: test of CPT invariance • if CPT is conserved • and there are no transitions to I = 3, or to nonsymmetric I = 1 states: • A1 : I=1 amplitude • real part fixed by CPT • imaginary part sensitive to direct CP-violation • Bell-Steinberger relation • connects CPT violating phase d with h parameters via unitarity: Manfred Jeitler, Institute of High Energy Physics, Vienna: The NA48 experimentInnsbruck, 26 March 2004

  30. KS p0p0p0 : the approach • time evolution of KL,S p0p0p0 I3p0 (t) ~ e-GLt + KL decay “dilution” D is momentum dependent • look for interference term | h000 |2e-GSt + KS decay 2 D(p) (Re (h000 ) cos Dmt – Im (h000 ) sin Dmt) e-(GS+ GL)t / 2 KL – KS interference term Manfred Jeitler, Institute of High Energy Physics, Vienna: The NA48 experimentInnsbruck, 26 March 2004

  33. CP-violation: indirect / direct ? • CP-violation first seen in KLpp decays (1964) • KL and KS are mixtures of CP-eigenstates K1 and K2 • KL = K2 + e K1 • KS = K1 + e K2 • mixing responsible for most of the observed CP-violation • parameter e • known since long ago • see Michele Veltri’s talk for new measurement by NA48 • but longstanding question: is there “direct” CP-violation? • K2pp ?? • parameter e’ • small effect  need high-precision measurement ! Manfred Jeitler, Institute of High Energy Physics, Vienna: The NA48 experimentInnsbruck, 26 March 2004

  34. the NA48 approach to measuring Re e’/e • almost collinear neutral kaon beams (KL and KS ) • same decay volume •  take all 4 modes at same time and place ! • “weighting” of KL decay events with KS lifetime • eliminate acceptance effects in first order • reduce systematic effects at expense of statistics • distinguish KL and KS by “tagging” protons to “KS target” • “second experiment” in 2001 • new drift chambers • different spill structure and instantaneous beam intensity • different beam energy Manfred Jeitler, Institute of High Energy Physics, Vienna: The NA48 experimentInnsbruck, 26 March 2004

  35. rare decays at NA48 • “KL”-beam: • KL p+ p- e+ e- indirect CP-violation • KL p+/- e-/+ p0 n form factors, pp – phase shifts, chiral perturbation theory • KL p0 g g CP-conserving contribution in KL  e+ e- p0 • KL  e+ e- g form factors • KL  e+ e- g g background for KL  e+ e- p0 • KL  e+e- e+e- CP-eigenvalue of KL • “KS”-beam: • X0L p0X0 mass • X0L g non-leptonic weak interaction • X0S0 g • L0p p-transversal L-polarization Manfred Jeitler, Institute of High Energy Physics, Vienna: The NA48 experimentInnsbruck, 26 March 2004

  41. Kl3 decays and Vus • test of CKM unitarity • |Vud|2 + |Vus|2 + |Vub|2 = 0.9957  0.002 : deviation from unity • |Vus| contributes nearly 30% of uncertainty • |Vus| calculated from G(Ke3) and G(Km3) • K  p0en and K  p0mn • precise measurement will improve CKM unitarity test Manfred Jeitler, Institute of High Energy Physics, Vienna: The NA48 experimentInnsbruck, 26 March 2004

  42. charged kaon decays: the NA48 approach • cancellation of systematic effects is essential • adapt NA48’s proven concept: simultaneous, collinear beams • use same detector without major modifications • beam particles are charged  measure their momentum !
