A regeneration experiment exploring KS−KL interference in the decay modes KS,L→π+π− and KS,L→π±l∓ν (l=μ or e) has been performed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory alternating-gradient synchrotron. The regeneration phases in carbon obtained from the time-dependent charge asymmetry of the Ke3 and Kμ3 modes are in good agreement and yield a combined result ϕf≡argi[f(0)−f(0)]=−40.9°±2.6° at the average K0 momentum of 7.5 GeV/c.
FROM KE3 DECAY MODE.
FROM KMU3 DECAY MODE.
The modulus and the phase of the K L o −K S o regeneration amplitude on carbon have been measured. In a momentum range of 16–40 GeV/ c the phase is constant within experimental error bars and coincides with the regeneration phase on hydrogen. Both the modulus and the phase of the regeneration amplitude on carbon are in agreement with optical model predictions.
ASSUMING A CONSTANT PHASE INDEPENDENT OF MOMENTUM, THE CARBON REGENERATION AMPLITUDE HAS A PHASE OF -130 +- 17 DEG.
The magnitude of |f21(0)|, the coherent K0 regeneration amplitude in Cu, has been measured for K momenta from 600 to 1400 MeVc. Results are compared with predictions of an optical model using forward dispersion relation predictions for real parts of kaon-nucleon scattering amplitudes.
