What would be a main obstacle ? How to estimate backgroud level?
KTeV, Phys. Lett. B447(1999)
Hyperon decays – lower momentum ?Multi- events – tighter vetoing ?Neutron events – removing sources ?

Summary KEK-PS E391a – The first dedicated experiment
To get a guideline for the precise measurement Lots of list to study (hoping to various suggestions)
Successful data taking To realize a trial of one method We are on right track
Too early to declare To find problem To fix it
1-day analysis Close to the KTeV limit Feed-back to the Run-II
1-Week analysis Preliminary results at the KAON2005
Better data quality at Run-II Run-III in coming fall
