E949 Summary
“The proposed experiment will provide critical input determining the unitarity triangle and testing the Standard Model hypothesis for the source of CP-violation. Comparisons between measurements such as this and those in the B system will provide the best overall test of the Standard Model picture and have the potential to reveal new physics” --- BNL PAC 10/12/98
The E949 proposal:
- Solid calculation of x50 sensitivity gain from E787(1995).
- Sensitivity of observe ~10 SM events.
- Background levels are well known. Benefit from extensive E787 measurements.
- Background is small ~10% of SM signal (ə event).
