Output signal of MWPC
Double Pole-Zero Cancellation Network
Goal of the KOTO Experiment Discovery of
- Direct CP violation -suppressed in the SM: BR = 2.4 x 10-11 - Small theoretical uncertainty (2%)
→ Sensitive to new physics beyond the SM
KL p0
Particles beyond the SM can contribute via the loop
Target: 2g (p0→2g) on EMCal + “Nothing Else” “Nothing” is assured by hermetic veto detectors

BHCV
EM Calorimeter
J-PARC E14 (KOTO) Experiment
BHCV (Beam Hole Charged Veto) - In-beam veto detector for charged particles at the downstream part of the KOTO detectors - Incident rate of in-beam neutral particles (g and neutron) is up to a few GHz → Signal loss due to fake vetoes

Basic Performance
change the time constant: - at0 -> 4.7 ns (time constant of 1st PZC)
Charge sensitive amplifier - Time constant: 47 ns Low noise, high speed op-amp - 4nV/√Hz, 2.5fA/√Hz - Gain-Bandwidth: 410 MHz
Additional PZC
Requirement for BHCV - Efficiency: 99.5% - High rate operation
The prototype amplifier and shaper for high-rate MWPC have been developed
- Good S/N for ¼ MIP peak events - Narrow pulse width (100 ns)
Conclusion Next Steps: - Finalize multi-channel amp. and shaper - Install and Operate BHCV for KOTO
Efficiency of BHCV: 99.5% 800 kHz operation w/ little baseline shift
