Workshop summary: Kaons@CERN 2023

Kaon physics is at a turning point – while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, the end of their lifetime is approaching and the future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II and LHCb-Phase-II on the table and under scrutiny, it is a very good moment in time to take stock and contemplate about the opportunities these experiments and theoretical developments provide for particle physics in the coming decade and beyond. This paper provides a compact summary of talks and discussions from the Kaons@CERN 2023 workshop, held in September 2023 at CERN.

NUCLEON-mission: A New Approach to Cosmic Rays Investigation

A new approach to Cosmic Rays Investigation is proposed. The main idea is to combine two experimental methods (KLEM and UHIS) for the NUCLEON Project. The KLEM (Kinematic Lightweight Energy Meter) method is used for the study of chemical composition and elemental energy spectra of galactic CRs in extremely wide energy range 10(exp 11)-10(exp 15) eV. The UHIS (Ultra Heavy Isotope Spectrometer) method is used for the ultra heavy CR nuclei fluxes registration nuclei beyond the iron peak. Combination of the two techniques will lead not to simple mechanical unification of two instruments in one block, but lead to the creation of a unique instrument, with a number of advantages.

High energy gamma-rays and hadrons at Mount Fuji

The energy spectra of high energy gamma-rays and hadrons were obtained by the emulsion chamber with 40 c.u. thickness at Mt. Fuji (3750 m). These results are compared with the Monte Carlo calculation based on the same model which is used in a family analysis. Our data are compatible with the model of heavy-enriched primary and scaling in the fragmentation region.

New analysis of nuclear interaction observed by Mt. Kanbara emulsion chamber experiment

To date the analysis of the air cascade family has been performed using a full Monte Carlo simulation. It is difficult to draw a definite conclusion about the interaction mechanism by using only this kind of simulation. On the other hand, attempts to reproduce the original gamma ray at the interaction point, for example decascading, have also been made. This method makes it possible to observe the interaction directly and to analyze the data from various angles. All of these methods, however, assume a constant ER in the cascade shower, where E is energy and R is the distance from the center of the cascade shower. It is impossible to reproduce the exact interaction height and energy by these methods. A relative method in separating one cascade shower from others is adopted. This method makes it possible to estimate the interaction height and energy by using information about the lateral spread of the cascade shower.
