Kaon physics with a high-intensity proton driver

2001 
We study opportunities for future high-precision experiments in kaon physics using a high-intensity proton driver, which could be part of the front-end of a muon storage ring complex. We discuss in particular the rare decays KL ! 0 , K + ! + , KL ! 0 e + e , and lepton-flavour violating modes such as KL ! e and K ! e. The outstanding physics potential and longterm interest of these modes is emphasized. We review status and prospects of current and planned experiments for the processes under consideration, and indicate possible improvements and strategies towards achieving the necessary higher sensitivity. Finally, we outline the machine requirements needed to perform these high-precision kaon experiments in the context of a muon storage ring facility.
