from our sister experiment E949 at Brookhaven. E949 and CKM have joined forces. Several
members of CKM from Fermilab and IHEP have joined E949 with the goal of proceeding in a
programmatic fashion from the one event signal observed by E787 at Brookhaven through a 5-10
signal events expected in E949 using an upgraded E787 apparatus to CKM's 100 events with a
significant measurement of the branching ratio for this ultra-rare decay mode.
The rest of the world of kaon physics has vigorously evolved in the past three years. There
are now two approved and funded experiments to observe and measure the branching ratio of
KL - rvT ; KOPIO at Brookhaven and E391a At KEK, two approved extensions of the NA48
experiment at CERN to make high sensitivity studies of K and K+ decays and planned programs
of high sensitivity kaon studies at both IHEP Protvino and at the new Japanese Hadron Facility
(JHF). This community of kaon physicists is now poised to perform a new generation of kaon
experiments that can quantitatively challenge the Standard Model. The CKM experiment will be
a key player in this world-wide program.
