Abstract
We consider potential experiments at the U-70 accelerator (Institute for High Energy Physics, Protvino) on the search and study of rare neutral η-, ω-, and η"-meson decays that are critical for the modern theory, at a qualitatively new level of statistical accuracy. A special setup with the use of meson tagging and electromagnetic calorimetry on PbWO4crystals is offered for this experiment. The neural net approach was invoked at the stage of data processing. The Monte Carlo simulation of the experiment demonstrated its high sensitivity to rare-decay detection, which far exceeds the existing world results.
