Abstract

The detector of the E865-collaboration at the Brookhaven-AGS described here combines a magnetic spectrometer for the charged decay products of 6 GeV/c K⁺ with excellent electromagnetic calorimetry and efficient particle identification for electrons and muons. Its high-resolution, large acceptance and high rate capability made it well suited for the study of extremely rare or forbidden decays with multi-leptonic final states such as K⁺ →π⁺μ⁺e^-, K⁺→π⁺l⁺l^-, K⁺→l⁺ν_le^-e⁺ and K⁺→π⁺π^-e⁺ν_e down to branching ratios below 10^-11 in an intense K⁺ beam ( ≈ 10⁸ per AGS spill).
