Status report of the NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS

  • 1. University of Edinburgh (United Kingdom)

Description

The aim of the NA48 experiment at the CERN SPS is to measure direct CP violation in neutral kaon decays thus determining the parameter ε'/ε with an accuracy of 2x10-4. The advantages of NA48 with respect to previous experiments are high statistics and reduced systematic effects. The principle of the experiment and the performance of the detector components are presented
