Evidence for the DecayK+π+νν¯<

Abstract: An event consistent with the signature expected for the rare kaon decay K 1 ! p 1 nn has been observed. In the pion momentum region examined, 211 , P , 230 MeV͞c, the backgrounds are estimated to contribute 0.08 6 0.03 events. If the event is due to K 1 ! p 1 nn, the branching ratio is 4.2 19.7 23.5 3 10 210 . [S0031-9007 (97)04229-4] PACS numbers: 13.20.Eb, 12.15.Hh, 14.80.MzThe decay K 1 ! p 1 nn has attracted interest due to its sensitivity to jV td j, the coupling of top to down quarks in the Cabibbo-Kobay… Show more

“…What are the experimental prospects for carrying out this program? In the mode K ± → π ± νν, the program is underway, as one event already has been observed at the Brookhaven expriment E787 [5]. The observation of this single event is consistent with the Standard Model expectation for the branching ratio at the level of 10 −10 .…”

“…However it is interesting to note that in the near future it could be excluded in a truly model-independent way by more stringent bounds on BR(K + → π + νν). Indeed if BR(K L → π 0 νν) > 2 · 10 −9 one expects from isospin analysis [33] that BR(K + → π + νν) > 4.6 · 10 −10 , not far from the recent upper bound on this mode obtained by BNL-E787 [34].…”

“…The leptoquark exchanges also contributes to the kaon semileptonic decay, K + → π + νν. By requiring that the prediction is smaller then the observed bound of Br(K + → π + ν lνl ′ ) = 0.42 +0.97 −0.35 × 10 −9 gives constraints [23,26],…”
