A search for the dark photon in the OKA experiment

A search for the massless dark photon in the decay $K^{+}\to π^{+}π^{0}\overline{{} γ}$ is performed with the OKA detector exposed to 17.7 GeV/c RF separated secondary beam of the U70 Proton Synchrotron. A high-statistics data sample of the $K^{+}$ decays is used for a missing mass search of the stable massless invisible dark photon ($\overlineγ$) in the final state. In the absence of a statistically valuable signal the upper limit on the branching ratio of the decay $Br<2.0\times10^{-6}$ is obtained with a 90% confidence level based on a realistic matrix element of the process. Currently, it is the best upper limit for this hypothetical decay channel.

The upper limit on the $K^+ \to π^0π^0π^0e^+ν$ decay

A search for the $K^{+} \to π^{0}π^{0}π^{0}e^+ν$ decay is performed by the OKA collaboration. The search is based on $3.65 \times 10^9 ~ K^+$ decays. No signal is observed. The upper limit set is $BR(K^{+} \to π^{0}π^{0}π^{0}e^+ν) < 5.4\times 10^{-8} ~ 90\%$ CL, 65 times lower than the one currently listed by PDG.

Study of eta pi- production by pions in the Coulomb field

The production of eta pi - system at low mass by the pi- beam in the Coulomb field of Be nuclei was studied. The cross section of the reaction pi- Be --> eta pi- Be was compared to the experimental data on the decay eta --> pi+ pi- gamma and to the theoretical predictions.
