Kaon Experiments
Abstract
After violation was discovered in the decay, many theories were proposed to explain it, and the Kobayashi-Maskawa model and the Superweak model lasted for many years as strong candidates. High-precision kaon experiments with many new techniques and improvements rejected the Superweak model and supported the Kobayashi-Maskawa model in 1990's. After then, rare kaon decay experiments are studying decays to search for violation caused by new physics beyond the Standard Model. Various techniques have been developed to increase the sensitivity and to suppress backgrounds.
