Grant: Subatomic Physics Envelope - Project
TRIUMF
$142,500.00
Rare decay experiment
FY 2006-07
Summary
Precise measurements of rare muon, pion, and K meson decays which have precise Standard Model predictions, enable exacting tests of current theories and searches for new physics at extremely high mass scales. Prominent among such processes, are the branching ratios for charged and neutral kaon decay to a pion and and neutrino anti-neutrino pair and the the decay of a pion to an electron and a neutrino. This proposal is aimed at completion of data analysis on the measurements of rare kaon decays, completion of R&D work on detectors, and initiation of work on rare pion decay.
