ORKA: A Precision Measurement of K+ -> pi+ nu nubar at Fermilab
Jack L. Ritchie (for the ORKA Collaboration)
TL;DR
ORKA is a proposed experiment at Fermilab aiming to observe around 1000 K+ -> pi+ nu nubar decay events to precisely measure its branching fraction, advancing understanding of rare kaon decays.
Contribution
This paper introduces the ORKA experiment and details its current status as a new approach to measure rare kaon decay with high precision at Fermilab.
Findings
Proposal to run ORKA at Fermilab's Main Injector
Expected to observe ~1000 decay events
Aims for high-precision measurement of branching fraction
Abstract
ORKA is an experiment to observe of order 1000 K+ -> pi+ nu nubar events and to make a precision measurement of the branching fraction. It has been proposed to run at Fermilab using the Main Injector. This note describes ORKA and its current status.
