The KOTO II experiment is proposed to measure the branching ratio of the decay $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar{\nu}$ at J-PARC. With a beamline to extract long-lived neutral kaons at 5 degrees from a production target, the single event sensitivity of…
The KOTO experiment aims to discover the rare decay $K^{0}_{L}\rightarrow \pi^{0} \nu \bar{\nu}$ at J-PARC. This mode breaks the CP symmetry directly and is highly suppressed in the Standard Model. Thus the mode is sensitive to new physics,…
The KOTO experiment is a particle physics experiment located in J-PARC, Japan, aiming to explore physics beyond the Standard Model by measuring the branching ratio of the $K_L\rightarrow\pi^{0}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay. This decay has not yet…
The rare kaon decay $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar{\nu}$ is extremely sensitive to new physics, because the contribution to this decay in the Standard Model (SM) is highly suppressed and known very accurately; the branching ratio is $3\times 10^{-11}$…
The KOTO experiment at the J-PARC research facility in Tokai, Japan aims to observe and measure the rare decay of the neutral kaon, $K_L^0 \rightarrow \pi^0 \nu \bar{\nu}$. This decay has a Standard Model (SM) predicted branching ratio (BR)…
The KOTO experiment was designed to observe and study the K$^{0}_{L} \rightarrow$ $\pi^{0}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay at J-PARC. The Standard Model (SM) prediction for the process is (3.0 $\pm$ 0.3) x 10$^{-11}$ with small uncertainties. This…
We demonstrate that novel limits on prompt axion-like particles (ALPs) in the hard-to-probe mass range near the neutral pion - the so-called pion chimney - may be obtained from recasting $K_L \to 3\pi^0 \to 6\gamma$ KOTO data to search for…
Recently, the KOTO experiment reported their new preliminary result of searching for the decay $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar{\nu}$. Three candidate events were observed in the signal region, which exceed significantly the expectation based on the…
The KOTO ($K^0$ at Tokai) experiment aims to observe the CP-violating rare decay $K_L \rightarrow \pi^0 \nu \bar{\nu}$ by using a long-lived neutral-kaon beam produced by the 30 GeV proton beam at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research…
We have performed a search for the K$^{0}_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{0}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay with the KOTO detector at J-PARC. The KOTO detector was designed to observe the decay and measure its branching ratio (BR). Focusing on this golden decay…
The experimental status of the $K \to \pi \nu \bar{\nu}$ search is presented. The $K \to \pi \nu \bar{\nu}$ decay is sensitive to New Physics because it is theoretically pristine and highly suppressed. The $K_L^0 \to \pi^0 \nu \bar{\nu}$…
The two kaon factories, KOTO and NA62, are at the cutting edge of the intensity frontier, with an unprecedented numbers of long lived and charged Kaons, ~ 10^{13}, being measured and analyzed. These experiments have currently a unique…
We searched for the $CP$-violating rare decay of neutral kaon, $K_{L} \to \pi^0 \nu \overline{\nu}$, in data from the first 100 hours of physics running in 2013 of the J-PARC KOTO experiment. One candidate event was observed while…
A search for the rare decay $K_L \!\to\! \pi^0 \nu \overline{\nu}$ was performed. With the data collected in 2015, corresponding to $2.2 \times 10^{19}$ protons on target, a single event sensitivity of $( 1.30 \pm 0.01_{\rm stat} \pm…
The KOTO experiment recently reported four candidate events in the signal region of $K_L\to \pi^0 \nu\bar\nu$ search, where the standard model only expects $0.10\pm 0.02$ events. If confirmed, this requires physics beyond the standard model…
Standard Model extensions often predict low-mass and very weakly interacting particles, such as the axion. A number of small-scale experiments at the intensity/precision frontier are actively searching for these elusive particles,…
The $K\to\pi\nu\bar{\nu}$ ultra-rare decays are precisely computed in the Standard Model (SM) and are ideal probes for physics beyond the SM. The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is designed to measure the charged channel with a precision of…
Two-body decays like $K \to \pi a$ rank among the most constraining collider probes for new, low-mass, feebly interacting pseudoscalar particles $a$. We explore an alternative class of kaon decay modes, specifically three-body decays to…
Kaon experiments are now focusing on searching for new physics beyond the standard model. For example, CERN NA62, J-PARC KOTO and J-PARC TREK-E36 experiments are starting up to study K->pi nu nu-bar decay modes, a lepton flavor violation,…
Rare kaon decays offer a powerful tool for investigating new physics in $s\to d$ transitions. Currently, many of the interesting decay modes are either measured with rather large uncertainties compared to their theoretical predictions or…
