The TREK-E36 Experiment

The TREK-E36 Experiment at J-PARC is dedicated to the search for lepton flavor universality violation in Γ(Ke2)/Γ(Kµ2)

Talk by Prof. M. Hasinoff R2-7-4 (Thurday, May 30)

Precise measurement of the decay width ratio: RK = Γ(Ke2) / Γ(Kµ2)

E36 Goal : δRK/RK = ± 0.2% (stat.) ± 0.15% (syst.) [0.25% total]

1. A 1mm wide groove is cut along the 20cm long scintillating fiber

2. An optical glue is carefully deposited inside the groove

Production of the TREK Fibers

5

1. A 1mm wide groove is cut along the 20cm long scintillating fiber

2. An optical glue is carefully deposited inside the groove

3. A green WLS fiber is pushed inside the groove and let to rest for 24h so that the optical glue hardens

2. An optical glue is carefully deposited inside the groove

3. A green WLS fiber is pushed inside the groove and let to rest for 24h so that the optical glue hardens

4. A plastic coupler is glued at the other end of the green WLS fiber

The EASIROC Board

● 32-channel I/O

● DSP / FPGA

● ADC (HG and LG)

● Multi Hit TDC (LE and TE)

8x 32 channel (or 4 x 64) EASIROC boards are needed to read out the 256 channels (full target)

Designed and made in Japan

Tested at TRIUMF

A new 64 channel EASIROC board is currently being designed and

should be ready for tests in 2014 !

Tracking Algorithm

We built a set of 20 “perfect” tracks in

a 64 fiber bundle

and

tested our tracking algorithm
