On the Cover

Plot showing the only two known examples of the K ⁺→π⁺νν̄; the new data point (white dot inside the box) confirms an earlier identification (red triangle). The blue dots are from a simulation of expected events, while data points outside the box are due to background 2-pion decays. The data for this decay, the focus of many decades of effort, yield a branching ratio that agrees within error bars with the standard-model prediction.
