• Measure B(K+ +×Ø ) to ±5% using the method developed in BNL E787/949.– Build a modern detector based on the E949 concept.– Estimate the sensitivity and backgrounds of the new experiment by
extrapolating from E949 experience.– Expect events/year at SM branching fraction
• Use the Tevatron as a Stretcher, filled by the Main Injector, to get high duty factor (95%). – 10% hit on protons to NOvA; no effect on microBooNE, mu2e, g-2, …
• Avoid civil construction by using an existing hall.– Several possibilities have been identified.
• Use an existing superconducting solenoid.– CDF or CLEO is suitable.
• Estimated TPC is $53M (FY2010 $), $58M (then-year $).
• Proposed schedule has first physics running by end of 2014.

K++×Ø in the Standard Model
• A single effective operator• Dominated by top quark (charm
significant, but controlled)• Hadronic matrix element shared with
Ke× • Largest uncertainty from CKM elements
(which will improve)
• Remains clean in New Physics models
The K×Ø decays are the most precisely calculated FCNC decays.
BSM(K++×Ø) = (8.5 ± 0.7) x 1011

Summary of SM Theory UncertaintiesCKM parameter uncertainties dominate the error budget today.
SM theory error for KL 0×Ø mode is no longer smaller. U. Haisch, arXiv:0707.3098
With foreseeable improvements, it is reasonable to expect the total SM theory error ≤6%.
Unmatched by any other FCNC process (K or B).
A. Kronfeld analysis
30% deviation from the SM
would be a 5 signal of NP

The MFV hypothesis is that all flavor- and CP-violating effects in New Physics are governed by the SM Yukawa couplings (CKM mixing and phase).

K++×Ø in the LHC EraNew Physics found at LHC New particles with unknown flavor- and CP-violating couplings
New Physics NOT found at LHC
Precision flavor-physics expts will be needed to help sort out the flavor- and CP-violating couplings of the NP.
Precision flavor-physics expts will be needed since they are sensitive to NP at mass scales beyond the LHC (through virtual effects).
K+ +×Ø and KL 0×Ø have special status because of their small SM uncertainty and large NP reach.
Precision measurement of B(K+ +×Ø) is an immediate high priority.
– It is experimentally more accessible than KL 0×Ø.– The result can guide the Project-X Intensity Frontier program.

K++×Ø at CERN
• Builds on the experience of NA-31/NA-48 collaboration• Many features in common with the Fermilab CKM proposal
– but uses an un-separated charged beam (75 GeV)
• Expects to collect 50 events/yr at SM level• Under construction; low-intensity run 2011, high-intensity mid-2012
CERN NA-62 is a first-generation decay-in-flight experiment.
![Page 11: Measurement of K + + ×Ø at Fermilab](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681481a550346895db5474b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Stopped K’s versus Decays in Flight
• A decay-in-flight experiment (CKM) was proposed at Fermilab in 1998 (by some of us).
• Whatever the hypothetical advantages, the decay-in-flight method has not yet been proven for K++×Ø.
• The deciding factors - here and now - are opportunity and cost:– The E949 method has been demonstrated at a level sufficient to
accomplish the goals of P996. This is the opportunity.– The cost of a low-energy (550 MeV/c) electromagnetostatic
separated K+ beam is significantly less than a high-energy SCRF-separated beam.
o Unseparated beam results in enormous rates in some detector elements; this is the Achilles heel of NA62.
– The cost of the compact (low-energy) detector is much less.
![Page 12: Measurement of K + + ×Ø at Fermilab](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/5681481a550346895db5474b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Why here, why now?• Existing Fermilab facilities (MI and Tevatron) provide an opportunity
to make a decisive measurement. – Either New Physics will manifest, or severe constraints result.
• To be timely, this should compete head-to-head with CERN’s NA-62 experiment.
• Tevatron stretcher operation is only viable if done soon after collider running ends.
• This measurement can provide important input for planning the Project-X Intensity Frontier program.
• This experiment will be a nucleation site for rebuilding the U.S. kaon-physics community, which is needed for Project-X.

Stretcher operating scenario– With NOvA, n pulses to NuMI beam (1.33 s ramp to 120 GeV)
+ 2 pulses to Tevatron (1.67 s ramp to 150 GeV); n 18 10% hit in protons to NOvA; no effect on BooNE, mu2e, g-2, …
– 96 Tp (1 TP = 1012 p) with 27.3 s cycle; duty factor = 94% (high duty factor is key to P996)
– Extraction hardware exists; 150 GeV is the normal Tevatron injection energy; 150 GeV extraction has been done before.
– If NOvA is off, higher intensity to P996 is possible.

K+ Yield
• LAQGSM-MARS model for ratio (150 GeV vs 21.5 GeV) accounting for target lengths, solid angles, momentum bites
• A complete secondary beam design
• Ray-tracing simulations from production target to stopping target
• FLUKA simulations of stopping target to estimate stopping fraction.
~60% of K+ stop in active target
E949 P996
Relative P996/E949 K+ yields from multiple models consistent.
Ratio(P996/E949) = 6.8±1.7
Calculation of K flux into the detector is based on:
Factors w.r.t. E949 are used to estimate P996 fluxes, sensitivity, and backgrounds. [D. Jaffe]

Other Possible Stretcher Experiments
• Next generation Drell-Yan experiment (follow up of current E906)• Next generation neutral kaon beam experiment tuned to the
interference region to pursue CP and CPT studies in a variety of final states.
• Next generation hyperon experiments, such as a follow-up of the
putative evidence for new physics in the +p+ signal, such as + EDM search using bent crystals (Wah, Chicago).
• A KL0×Ø experiment if the accelerator pulse timing resolution
can be improved (requires R&D). • High duty factor test-beam program, which will reduce the cost to
NOvA. As configured now the test-beam program will be a 5% hit on NOvA operations, and P996 would be an additional 10%, raising the aggregate hit to 15%. Driving test beams in parallel with P996 will reduce the aggregate NOvA hit to 10% as well as providing better test beams.

November 13, 2009 Fermilab PAC Meeting 21
K++×Ø Motivation
• No matter what happens at LHC, there are key flavor-physics measurements that will be needed.
– K++×Ø is crucial.
• K++×Ø is a “golden mode” due to small SM theory errors.– Large deviations from the SM level appear in many plausible NP
scenarios.– 30% deviation from the SM would be a 5 signal of NP in P996
• Precision measurement of K++×Ø, which is more accessible
experimentally than KL0×Ø and can be carried out now, will provide guidance for Project -X.
– A NP signal will imply high priority for KL 0×Ø and the
complimentary modes KL0e+e and KL0+
