This action will provide funds for the continued development and operation of an experiment to study very rare kaon decays at Brookhaven National Laboratory (E791). The experiment was approved about three and one half years ago with very high priority by Brookhaven. The experiment will test the limitations of our present understanding of the currently accepted "standard model" of the electro-weak interaction. The standard model has recently had great quantitative success but is known to be incomplete. The proposed search for the decay of kaons into pairs of charged leptons would provide guidance about the many proposed extensions of the "standard model". If these decay modes were observed, it would constitute a major discovery.

这一行动将为布鲁克海文国家实验室（E791）研究非常罕见的介子衰变的实验的持续发展和运行提供资金。大约三年半前，布鲁克海文批准了这项实验，并给予了高度重视。这个实验将测试我们目前对目前公认的电弱相互作用“标准模型”的理解的局限性。标准模型最近在量化方面取得了巨大的成功，但众所周知它是不完整的。对介子衰变为带电轻子对的研究将为“标准模型”的许多扩展提供指导。如果这些衰变模式被观测到，那将是一个重大发现。
