Search for K → π ννat the NA62 experiment Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Looking for phenomena beyond the Standard Model (SM) in rare decays is a complementary approach to direct searches for New Physics (NP) at colliders. One of the theoretically cleanest processes is the ultra rare decay K → π νν. The goal of the NA62 experiment at CERN SPS is to measure the branching ratio (BR) of this decay with 10%25 precision. The experiment has been launched in 2014. In 2015, the detector was commissioned at a low intensity beam. The experimental setup is described and performances achieved in 2015 are discussed in view of the final measurement. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2016.
