非常罕见的$K^+\rightarrowπ^+ν\barν$衰变的研究

An investigation of the very rare $K^+\rightarrowπ^+ν\barν$ decay

NA62 Collaboration

摘要:

NA 62实验报告了对2017年在CERN SPS收集的$K^+$衰变样本中的$K^+\rightarrowπ^+ν\barν$模式的调查。实验已实现$(0.389\pm 0.024)\times10^{-10}$的单事件灵敏度,对应于假设$(8.4\pm1.0)\times10^{-11}$的标准模型分支比的2.2个事件。观察到两个信号候选者具有1.5个事件的预期背景。结合NA62对2016年记录的较小数据集进行的类似分析的结果,该合作现在报告了$K^+\rightarrowπ^+ν\barν$分支比的$1.78\times10^{-10}$上限为90\%\,CL。这与相应的$(0.48^{+0.72 }_{-0.48})\times10^{-10}$的68\%\,CL测量值一起,是目前世界上最精确的结果,并且能够约束一些新物理模型,这些模型预测了先前测量仍然允许的大增强。

英文摘要:

The NA62 experiment reports an investigation of the $K^+\rightarrowπ^+ν\barν$ mode from a sample of $K^+$ decays collected in 2017 at the CERN SPS. The experiment has achieved a single event sensitivity of $(0.389\pm 0.024)\times10^{-10}$, corresponding to 2.2 events assuming the Standard Model branching ratio of $(8.4\pm1.0)\times10^{-11}$. Two signal candidates are observed with an expected background of 1.5 events. Combined with the result of a similar analysis conducted by NA62 on a smaller data set recorded in 2016, the collaboration now reports an upper limit of $1.78\times10^{-10}$ for the $K^+\rightarrowπ^+ν\barν$ branching ratio at 90\%\,CL. This, together with the corresponding 68\%\,CL measurement of $(0.48^{+0.72 }_{-0.48})\times10^{-10}$, are currently the most precise results worldwide, and are able to constrain some New Physics models that predict large enhancements still allowed by previous measurements.
