K_L -> pi^0 nu nubar at the AGS (E926)
Abstract
Description
A proposed experiment to measure K_L -> pi^0 nu nubar at the AGS (E926) is described. It adopts a unique but general strategy of rare decay measurements with two independent rejection criteria, which allows reliable measurements of background levels. The method employs hermetic veto and full kinematic reconstruction using kaon time of flight and kinematic reconstruction of pi^0. Backgrounds are suppressed to a level well below an anticipated signal in the range 3 x 10^{-11}.
