Searches for very weakly-coupled particles beyond the Standard Model with NA62 Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • The NA62 experiment at CERN is designed to measure precisely the rare decay K → π vv. The intensity and energy of the SPS proton beam used to produce the K , as well as the hermetic detector coverage and overall geometry, give in addition the opportunity to search for hypothesized weakly-coupled particles at the MeV-GeV mass scale. In these proceedings the focus lies on reviewing these opportunities and sketching the current status of some pertinent searches. © Proceedings of the 13th Patras Workshop on Axions, WIMPs and WISPs, PATRAS 2017.
