Transverse muon polarization
K+→p0m+n decay
T-odd

Spurious effects from final state interaction are small. Nonzero PT is a signature of T violation.

Clear channel to search for T violation. Long history of
theoretical and experimental studies. (J.J. Sakurai, 1957)

Experiment at KEK(E246)
PT = - 0.0017 ± 0.0023(stat) ± 0.0011(syst)

Theoretical aspects

Standard Model contribution to PT :
– Only from vertex radiative corrections and PT(SM) < 10-7

Spurious effects from final state interactions (FSI): PT(FSI) < 10-5

There is a large window for new physics beyond the SM
in the region of PT = 10-3 ~ 10-5

There are theoretical models which allow sizeable PT
without conflicting with other experimental constraints.

New experiment at J-PARC

We aim at a sensitivity of dPT ~10-4 (E246-dPT ~10-3)
Statistical error
dPTstat ≤ 0.1 dPTstat (E246) ~10-4 with
1) × 30 of beam intensity,
2) × 10 of detector acceptance, and
3) higher analyzing power
Systematic error
dPTsyst ~ 0.1 dPTsyst (E246) ~10-4 by
1) precise calibration of misalignments using data
2) correction of systematic effects

Summary
 PT in Km3 is a very sensitive probe of new physics
 We propose a J-PARC experiment in the early stage of Phase 1
to pursue a limit of dPT ~ 10-4.
 K0.8 beamline as a branch of K1.1
 Upgraded E246 detector
 Beam time request = 1.3×107 s (net) at Ip= 9mA on T1
 We would like to take the first step this year toward
– Collaboration forming
– Fund application
– Detector R&D
after obtaining some status.
