Part II: Rare decays of Rare decays of ηη and and ηη’’
Why Are Why Are ηη Decays Interesting for New Physics? Decays Interesting for New Physics?
Due to the conservation of G and P in the strong interaction, the η decay width Γη =1.3 KeV is extremely narrow (comparing to Γρ= 149 MeV)
η decays have the dominant strong interaction filtered out, enhancing the branching ratios for other interactions by a factor of ~100,000. η decays provide a unique, flavor-conserving laboratory to
search for new sources of C, P, and CP violation in the regime of EM and suppressed strong processes.

This figure gives a very rough idea how statistics limits our ability to probe
the dynamics of the ηπ02γ decay.
Assumptions are 8.3 accepted events per live
day, negligible background, and 7 bins spanning 0.025-0.375.
Prakhov et al., PRC 78, 015206 (2008).
Experiment Figure of Merit Experiment Figure of Merit for “Forbidden Branch” Searchesfor “Forbidden Branch” Searches
In C and CP violation searches in η decays to date, it’s been true that Bkg Events >> Signal Events. Since the background fluctuations are sqrt(N), the upper limit for the branching ratio at ~95% CL is then approximately
BR upper limit ≈ 2*sqrt(fbkg*NMε)/NMε = 2*sqrt(fbkg/NMЄ)where
NM= number of mesons decaying into the experimental acceptanceЄ = efficiency for detecting products from the signal branch
fbkg = fraction of NM which remains in the signal box after all cuts
The figure of merit for experiments is therefore NMЄ /fbkg.
This means that to reduce the BR upper limit by one order of magnitude, one must either
•Increase NMЄ by TWO orders of magnitude, or •Decrease fbkg by TWO orders of magnitude.
While maintaining a competitive η production rate, Jlab would reduce BR upper limits by one order of magnitude using background reduction alone.
How Many How Many ηη’s Can We Make?’s Can We Make?A year of Jlab operations is about 32 weeks. Assuming 50% efficiency for the accelerator and end-station, that is 112 live days.
With a 30 cm LH2 target, 70 nb cross section, and 1.5E7 gammas/second, we can produce 1.3E7 η’s per year.
The number of accepted η decays per year would be ~1/3 this, or ~4E6 per year.
η production is conservatively similar to KLOE
