KOPIO: Measurement of K0L → π0νν̄

CONCEPTS

• Measure as much as possible:

Energy, position and ANGLE of each photon.

• Work in the C.M. system :

Use TOF to get the K0L momentum.

• Maximize Photon Veto Efficiency

• Maximize Intensity of Microbunched Beam

• Measure everything! (energy, position, angle, time)• Eliminate extra charged particles or photons

* E949 π0 inefficiency < 10-6

* KOPIO π0 inefficiency < 10-8

• Suppress backgrounds below the signal * Predict backgrounds from data: dual cuts* Use “Blind analysis” techniques * Test predictions “outside-the-box”

• Evaluate candidate events with S/N function

AGS Microbunching Beam testMicrobunch width Interbunch extinction

Measured the inter-bunch extinction ratio(flux between bunches/within bunch).Observed a ratio of ~3-4% (could be less)KOPIO requires ~ 10-3 - 10-2

Need to control power supply ripple

Studied the RF extraction mechanismproposed for KOPIO & measured a microbunch rms width of 244 ps --KOPIO requires a 300 ps rms

Also developed monitoring methods
