The document discusses the TREK experiment at J-PARC, which aims to search for non-standard model physics using the transverse muon polarization in stopped K+ decay. It outlines the TREK program, including a search for time reversal symmetry violation and tests of lepton universality. It describes the TREK apparatus and planned upgrades, including a new active polarimeter and fibre target, which would allow the experiment to achieve sensitivity to transverse muon polarization at the 10-4 level by 2014.

Even with shimming it is impossible to have flat field distribution for both 0.8 and 1.1 GeV/c excitations of B1 1.1 has saturation effect, generating positive n (quadrupole component), which is horizontally defocusing, while field is flat for 0.8 Design shims such that n is negative (can be tolerated by TREK/K0.8, in fact is even better because of horizontal focusing?), then compensating positive n for 1.1 to make it flat. Larger aperture corresponds to higher excitation corresponds to more pronounced saturation effect Schedule to finish beamline by summer 2010 requires mounting of old 2m separator from KEK. However, will intend to replace with new 2.5m separator in preparation of TREK, as pi/K separation will be not be optimal otherwise.
