초록

We performed a search for the KL-* J0vv decay using the data taken in 2021 at the J-PARC KOTO experiment. With newly installed counters and new analysis method, the expected background was suppressed to 0.252 +/- 0.055stat +0.052 -0.067syst. With a single event sensitivity of (9.33 +/- 0.06stat +/- 0.84syst) x 10-10, no events were observed in the signal region. An upper limit on the branching fraction for the decay was set to be 2.2 x 10-9 at the 90% confidence level (C.L.), which improved the previous upper limit from KOTO by a factor of 1.4. With the same data, a search for KL-*J0X0 was also performed, where X0 is an invisible boson with a mass ranging from 1 to 260 MeV/c2. For X0 with a mass of 135 MeV/c2, an upper limit on the branching fraction of KL-* pi 0X0 was set to be 1.6 x 10-9 at the 90% C.L.
