Lepton universality in Kl2 and ππππl2 decays .
Standard Model:
� By forming ratio of the Γ(Ke2) to the Γ(Kµ2),
hadronic form factors are cancelled out and
the RKSM is highly precise.
� Strong helicity suppression of the electronic
channel enhances sensitivity to effects
beyond the SM.
Uncertainty is ∆RK/RK ~ 0.05%
Helicity suppression
due to V−A structure
Radiative correction

Summary of systematic uncertainties
We estimated the systematic uncertainty to be ∆RK/RK=0.13%
∆RK=0.003 x 10-5
∆RK=0.005 x 10-5
� Since the J-PARC facility was seriously damage by the earthquake, it is very
difficulty to say accurate schedule.
� According to the J-PARC director, the delay is estimated to be 1 year.

Summary
� RK is a very sensitive prove of SUSY LFV contribution, which
can be strongly enhanced by emitting a τ neutrino.
� We propose a J-PARC experiment with low-intensity beam
such as during the 30kW operation to pursue
∆RK/RK =0.2%
� We will use K1.1BR beamline.
� The experiment will be performed using upgraded E246
detector (a part of TREK detector)
� The proposed experiment can be done on our way to the final
TREK configuration.

� Most of the systematic effects are reduced by forming the ratio of N(Ke2) and N(Kµ2) and their acceptances.
� Several items will not be cancelled out perfectly, which introduces a systematic error in the RK measurement.
� Dominant contributions to the RK uncertainties can be considered as three groups: [G1]. Misunderstanding of the detector acceptances[G2]. Imperfect PID performance [G3]. Background contaminations
� Comparison of various Ke2 and Kµ2 spectra with the MC.� Ke3, Kµ3, and Kπ2 spectra are also compared with the MC.
� These studies have already been performed in the E246/470 experiment with the level of 1%.
� This uncertainty should be improved with increasing the numbers of Ke3, Kµ3, and Kπ2 up to 106 level, which is 100 times higher statistics than E246/470.

J-PARC K1.1BR beamline
� The beamline K1.1BR was completed in summer 2010.
� The beam tuning was carried out in Oct. and Nov. 2010 by the TREK group.
� A reasonable K+ intensity with fairly well π/K ratio ~1 could be confirmed.
� There might be still room for improvement.
� However, a better π/K ratio (~0.3) can be only achieved by upgrading
electro-static separator.
charge exchange reaction K+ � K0
• cross section of K+ � K0 is ~ 5mb• considering degrader (BeO) length , reaction
probability is • rou/A x 6*1023 *30 x sigma
= 3/25x6*1023 x 30 x 5*10-27 =0.01
