Abstract
The Standard Model (SM) represents our best description of the subatomic world and it has been very successful in explaining how elementary particles interact under the influence of the fundamental forces. Despite its far reaching success in describing the building blocks of matter, the SM is still incomplete; falling short to explain dark matter, baryogenesis, neutrino masses and much more. The E36 experiment conducted at J-PARC in Japan, allows for sensitivity to search for light U(1) gauge bosons, in the muonic K + decay channel. Such U(1) bosons could be associated with dark matter or explain established muon-related anomalies such as the muon gµ − 2 value, and the proton radius puzzle. A scintillating fiber target was used to stop a beam of positively charged K mesons. The K + products were detected with a large-acceptance toroidal spectrometer capable of tracking charged particles with high resolution, combined with a large solid angle CsI(TI) photon detector and particle ID systems. A realistic simulation was employed to search for these rare decays in the mass range of 20–100 MeV/c 2. Preliminary results of the upper limits for the A′ branching ratio Br(A′ ) extracted at 95% CL, will be discussed.
