Description

The E391a experiment at the KEK 12 GeV proton synchrotron is the first dedicated experiment for the Kl->pi0nunubar decay. The data is taken during three separate Runs. We just performed a blind analysis on the last Run. With (3.48+-0.25)*10^9 Klong decays, we found no candidate events. An upper limit of 6.8*10^-8 was set on the branching ratio for the decay at the 90% confidence level.
