Scientific paper

The primary purpose of the HyperCP experiment at Fermilab is to test CP in hyperon decays by comparing the decay distributions for Xi- ("cascade") decays in the decay sequence: Xi- [right arrow] pi- + Lambda0, Lambda0 [right arrow] pi- + p, with those for the antiparticle Xi+. In addition, we can test CP in charged kaon decays by comparing the slopes of the Dalitz plot for Kappa+ and Kappa- decays. We are also looking at rare decay modes of charged kaons and hyperons, particularly those involving muons. In two runs in 1997 and 1999, we collected approx. 500 millon charged kaon decays, 2.5 billion Xi- and Xi+ decays, and 19 million Omega- and Omega+ decays. This is the largest sample of fully reconstructed particle decays ever collected.
