The K decays: a theoretical clean environment sensitive to
new physicsFCNC loop processes: sd coupling and highest CKM suppression
Very clean theoretically: SD contributions dominate, hadronic matrix element can be related to measured quantites.
SM predictions (uncertainties from CKM elements): BR(K++) (1.6×10-5)|Vcb|4[2+(c-)2] (8.0 ± 1.1)×10-11
BR(KL0) (7.6×10-5)|Vcb|42 ± 0.6×10-11
Sensitive to NP: clean probe up to ~100 TeV scale

Other physics opportunities can be addressed:
Lepton – flavor violation: Ke2/K2,K+++e-, K+-+e+
Tests of CPT K++-e+
Search for new low mass particles: K+(light RH neutrinos) K++0P (pseudoscalar sGoldstino)
Hadron spetroscopy
…
25/5/2007 Giuseppe Ruggiero, Kaon 2007 25
ConclusionsNear future: Search for new physics using rare Kaon decays.
P-326 experiment: Measurement of the Br(K++) with a ~10% accuracy (+ other physics opportunities)
General design: Mostly defined. Overall simulation and performances under review.
R&D program: Well advanced: construction of detector prototypes and test in progress (in some cases completed). Important results by the end of 2007.
We propose a new experiment able to reach a ~10-12 sensitivity per event at an existing machine and employing the infrastructures of an existing experiment. [CERN-SPSC-P-326, 11/06/2005]
