The CP/T Experiment
Abstract
In this talk I describe a proposed Fermilab Main Injector experiment to carry out a program of measurements on the physics of K0 mesons. The experiment is designed to maximize the interference between KL and KS mesons near their production target, and hence have excellent sensitivity to CP violation in many decay modes. The extremely accurate CP violation measurements we will be able to make will allow us to test CPT symmetry violation with sensitivity at the Planck scale. The experiment will use an RF-separated K+ beam striking a target at the entrance to a hyperon magnet to make the K0 beam by charge exchange. The decay region, magnetic spectrometer, electromagnetic calorimeter, and muon detector follow immediately to observe interference between KL and KS near the target.
