A sample of 1.69×107 fully reconstructed π0→γe+e− decay candidates collected by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN in 2003–2004 is analyzed to search for dark photon (A′) production π0→γA′ followed prompt A′→e+e− decay. No signal observed, and an exclusion region plane mass mA′ mixing parameter ε2 established. The obtained upper limits on are more stringent than previous range 9MeV/c2<mA′<70MeV/c2. sensitivity K±→π±A′ also evaluated.
The double ratio R of the relative decay rates short- and long-lived neutral kaons into two charged pions was measured to be 0.980±0.004±0.005. deviation from CP violation in transition CP-odd K2 with ϵ′/ϵ=(3.3 ± 1.1)×10−3.
The direct CP violation parameter Re(epsilon'/epsilon) has been measured from the decay rates of neutral kaons into two pions using NA48 detector at CERN SPS. 2001 running period was devoted to collecting additional data under varied conditions compared earlier years (1997-99). new yield result: = (13.7 +/- 3.1) times 10^{-4}. Combining this result with that published 1997, 98 and 99 data, an overall value (14.7 2.2) 10^{-4} is obtained experiment.
We report the results from a study of ~23 Million K+- ==> pi+- pizero decays recorded by NA48/2 experiment at CERN SPS, showing an anomaly in invariant mass distribution region around 2m+, where m+ is charged pion mass. This anomaly, never observed previous experiments, can be interpreted as effect due mainly to final state charge exchange scattering process pi+ pi- decay. It provides precise determination a0 - a2, difference between pi-pi lengths isospin I=0 and I=2 states.
We report results from the analysis of $\mbox {$\mathrm {K}^{\pm}$}\rightarrow \pi^{+} \pi^{-} \mathrm{e}^{\pm} \nu$ ( {K}_{\mathrm {e}4}$}$ ) decay by NA48/2 collaboration at CERN SPS, based on total statistics 1.13 million decays collected in 2003–2004. The hadronic form factors S- and P-wave their variation with energy are obtained. phase difference between states ππ system is accurately measured allows a precise determination {$a_{0}^{0}$}$ {$a_{0}^{2}$}$ , I = 0 2 S-wave scattering...
We report results from a new measurement of the Ke4 decay K±→π+π-e±ν by NA48/2 collaboration at CERN SPS, based on partial sample more than 670 000 decays in both charged modes collected 2003. The form factors hadronic current (F,G,H) and ππ phase difference (δ=δs-δp) have been measured ten independent bins mass spectrum to investigate their variation. A sizeable acceptance large mass, low background very good resolution contribute an improved experimental accuracy, factor two better...
The main characteristics of the COMPASS experimental setup for physics with hadron beams are described. This was designed to perform exclusive measurements processes several charged and/or neutral particles in final state. Making use a large part apparatus that previously built spin structure studies muon beam, it also features new target system as well or upgraded detectors. is able operate at high incident flux available CERN. It characterised by angular and momentum coverages, nearly flat...
The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS is designed to study the $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ decay. After collecting data in 2016, 2017, and 2018, has resumed taking 2021 received approval for operations until onset of LS3. first search lepton number violating decay $K^+\to\pi^0\pi^-\mu^+ e^+$ flavour decays $K^+\to\pi^0\pi^+\mu^+ e^-$ , $K^+\to\pi^0\pi^+\mu^- reported.

A study of the dynamics rare decay K±→π±γγ has been performed on a sample 232 candidates, with an estimated background 17.4±1.1 events, collected by NA62 experiment at CERN in 2007. The results are combined those from measurement conducted NA48/2 Collaboration CERN. model-independent branching ratio kinematic range z=(mγγ/mK)2>0.2 is BMI(z>0.2)=(0.965±0.063)×10−6, and full assuming Chiral Perturbation Theory description B(Kπγγ)=(1.003±0.056)×10−6. detailed comparison previous measurements performed.
We report the results from a study of full sample ∼6.031×107 K ±→π ± π 0 decays recorded by NA48/2 experiment at CERN SPS. As first observed in this experiment, invariant mass (M 00) distribution shows cusp-like anomaly region around M 00=2m +, where m + is charged pion mass. This has been interpreted as an effect due mainly to final state charge exchange scattering process −→π − decay. Fits 00 using two different theoretical formulations provide presently most precise determination 0−a 2,...
The NA48/2 experiment at CERN collected a large sample of charged kaon decays to final states with multiple particles in 2003–2004. A new upper limit on the rate lepton number violating decay K±→π∓μ±μ± is reported: B(K±→π∓μ±μ±)<8.6×10−11 90% CL. Searches for two-body resonances X K±→πμμ (such as heavy neutral leptons N4 and inflatons χ) are also presented. In absence signals, limits set products branching fractions B(K±→μ±N4)B(N4→πμ) B(K±→π±X)B(X→μ+μ−) ranges assumed resonance masses...
