1.7 Improvements at DANE

Previous experiments have used various cuts in phase space in order (i) to identify the individual contributions IB, SD, INT as far as possible, and (ii) to reduce the background from decays. This background has in fact forced so severe cuts that only the upper end of the lepton spectrum remained.

The experimental possibilities to reduce background from decays are presumably more favourable with today's techniques. Furthermore, the annual yield of decays at DANE is more than two orders of magnitude higher than the samples which were available in [4,5,7,8]. This allows for a big improvement in the determination of the amplitudes A and V, in particular in decays. It would be very interesting to pin down the combination of the low-energy constants which occur in the chiral representation of the amplitude A and to investigate the -dependence of the form factors.
