Experiment E865 at the BNL AGS is a search for the lepton number violating decay K[sup+][r-arrow][pi][sup+][mu][sup+]e[sup[minus]] with an expected sensitivity of 3[times] 10[sup[minus]12]. The experimental apparatus involves a magnetic spectrometer with two Cerenkov counters, a calorimeter and a muon detector for particle identification. In addition, other rare K[sup+] decays are studied. The experiment has been collecting data since 1995, and preliminary results are presented.
