The 10 m(2 )muon hodoscope made of drift tubes with length of 3.7 m and diameter of 52 mm is under development and construction at the NRC Kurchatov Institute-IHEP. In total, 768 drift tubes are grouped into six identical multilayers, each consisting of two tube layers with parallelly placed tubes. The orientation of tubes in adjacent multilayers is orthogonal; thus, the hodoscope has six X and six Y layers of tubes. The mechanical structure, on-chamber electronics, and data acquisition system are described. Expected technical characteristics and some test results are presented.

The T -odd correlation ξ_π eγ , which is the mixed product of the momenta of e^ + , π^0 , and γ in the system of rest of the kaon divided by M_K^3 , has been measured in the K + → π 0 e + ν e γ radiative decay among 101 200 candidate events detected at the OKA setup. The asymmetry of the distribution in ξ_π eγ is characterized by the ratio A_ξ = N_ + - N_ - /N_ + + N_ - , where N_ + ( - ) is the number of events with positive (negative) ξ. The value A_ξ = (+0.1 ± 3.9(stat.) ± 1.7(syst.)) × 10 –3 or |A_ξ| < 5.4 ×10^ - 3 (90

The paper presents a measurement of the T-odd correlation in radiation decay K^+ →π^0 e^+ν_eγ performed on the installation of the 101200 candidate events of the investigated decay were identified. Measured correlation ξ_π e γ -is a mixed product of moments e^+, π^0, γ in the kaon rest system, normalized by M^3_K. To assess the asymmetry of the distribution by ξ_π e γ the value used is A_ξ= N_+-N_-/N_++N_-, where N_+(-) is the number of events with ξ greater than (less than) zero. For the A_ξ asymmetry, the value is obtained A_ξ = (+0.1 ± 3.9(stat.) ±1.7(syst.))×10^-3 or |A_ξ| < 5.4×10^-3 (90% CL)

On the statistics of ~1.7 × 108 interactions of positively charged kaons on copper nuclei, coherent events of the K+π0 system production are selected. The cross sections for the Coulomb and coherent strong components and their interference in the region of the K*(892) meson are measured. The partial width for the decay K*(892) → K+γ is determined. When studying the mass spectrum of the K+π0 system, an effect which can be interpreted as the interference of the chiral anomaly and the K*(892) s-channel amplitudes is found. This gives an estimate for the ratio of the observed amplitude of the chiral anomaly to the theoretical one: Aexp/Ath = 0.9 ± 0.24(stat.) ± 0.3(syst.).

Results of a study of the K^+ →π ^0 e^+νγ decay at OKA setup are presented. More than 32,000 events of this decay are observed. The differential spectra over the photon energy and the photon–electron opening angle in kaon rest frame are presented. The branching ratios, normalized to that of K_e3 decay are calculated for different cuts on E^*_γ and cosΘ ^*_eγ . In particular, the branching ratio for E^*_γ>30 MeV and Θ ^*_e γ>20^∘ is measured R = Br(K^+ →π ^0 e^+ν _eγ ) /Br(K^+ →π ^0 e^+ν _e) = = (0.587±0.010( stat .)±0.015( syst .)) × 10^-2 , which is in a good agreement with ChPT O(p^4) calculations.

Results of a study of the $$K^+ \rightarrow \pi ^{0} e^{+} \nu \gamma $$ decay at OKA setup are presented. More than 32,000 events of this decay are observed. The differential spectra over the photon energy and the photon–electron opening angle in kaon rest frame are presented. The branching ratios, normalized to that of $$K_{e3}$$ decay are calculated for different cuts on $$E^*_\gamma $$ and $$cos\Theta ^{*}_{e\gamma }$$ . In particular, the branching ratio for $$E^{*}_{\gamma }>30$$ MeV and $$\Theta ^{*}_{e \gamma }>20^{\circ }$$ is measured R = $$\frac{Br(K^+ \rightarrow \pi ^{0} e^{+} \nu _{e} \gamma ) }{Br(K^+ \rightarrow \pi ^{0} e^{+} \nu _{e})} $$ = = (0.587±0.010(stat.)±0.015(syst.)) $$\times 10^{-2}$$ , which is in a good agreement with ChPT $$O(p^{4})$$ calculations.

A high statistics data sample of the decays of $$K^+$$ mesons to three charged particles was accumulated by the OKA experiment in 2012 and 2013. This allowed to select a clean sample of about 450 events with $$K^{+}\rightarrow \pi ^{+}\pi ^{-}\pi ^{+}\gamma $$ decays with the energy of the photon in the kaon rest frame greater than 30 MeV. The measured branching fraction of the $$K^{+}\rightarrow \pi ^{+}\pi ^{-}\pi ^{+}\gamma $$ , with $$E_{\gamma }^{*} > 30\ \hbox {MeV}$$ is equal to $$(0.71 \pm 0.05) \times 10^{-5}$$ . The measured differential branching fraction over photon energy is compared with the prediction of the chiral perturbation theory to $${\mathcal {O}}(p^{4})$$ . A search for an up-down asymmetry of the photon with respect to the hadronic system decay plane is also performed.

A precise measurement of the vector and axial-vector form factors difference $$F_V-F_A$$ in the $$K^+\rightarrow {\mu ^+}{\nu _{\mu }}{\gamma }$$ decay is presented. About 95K events of $$K^+\rightarrow {\mu ^+}{\nu _{\mu }}{\gamma }$$ are selected in the OKA experiment. The result is $$F_V-F_A=0.134\pm 0.021(stat)\pm 0.027(syst)$$ . Both errors are smaller than in the previous $$F_V-F_A$$ measurements.
