Abstract Kaon physics is at a turning point – while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, end of their lifetime approaching future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II LHCb-Phase-II on table under scrutiny, it very good moment time take stock contemplate about opportunities these theoretical developments provide for particle coming decade beyond.

The Experimental Cavern North 3 (ECN3) is an underground experimental cavern on the CERN Pr\'evessin site. ECN3 currently hosts NA62 experiment, with a physics programme devoted to rare kaon decays and searches of hidden particles approved until Long Shutdown (LS3). Several options are proposed longer term in order make best use worldwide unique potential high-intensity/high-energy proton beam extracted from Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) ECN3. current status their study by Physics Beyond...
Abstract The NA62 experiment at CERN utilises a differential Cherenkov counter with achromatic ring focus (CEDAR) for tagging kaons within an unseparated monochromatic beam of charged hadrons. CEDAR-H detector was developed to minimise the amount material in path by using hydrogen gas as radiator medium. shown satisfy kaon requirements test-beam before installation and commissioning experiment. performance measured data collected 2023.

We summarize the program of working group 1 at 12th Workshop on CKM Unitarity Triangle, whose main subjects covered $V_{ud}$, $V_{us}$, and first-row unitarity as well $V_{cd}$, $V_{cs}$, (semi-)leptonic $D$ decays.
A measurement of the $K^{+}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay by NA62 experiment at CERN SPS is presented, using data collected in 2021 and 2022. This dataset was recorded, after modifications to beamline detectors, a higher instantaneous beam intensity with respect 2016--2018 taking. Combining 2016--2022, $B(K^{+}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}) = \left( 13.0^{+ 3.3}_{- 3.0} \right)\times10^{-11}$ reported. With $51$ signal candidates observed an expected background $18^{+3}_{-2}$ events,...
The NA62 low mass spectrometer consists of 7000 straw tubes operating in vacuum. front-end electronics is directly mounted on the detector and connected by a flexible PCB. board provides amplification, shaping, discrimination time measurements analogue signals from 16 channels. After digitisation data sent to VME 9U read-out board. data, once matched with trigger, next step used trigger level 1 algorithm. systems will be presented along first results performances.

A group of Early-Career Researchers (ECRs) has been given a mandate from the European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA) to debate topics current Strategy Update (ESU) Particle Physics and summarise outcome in brief document [1]. full-day with 180 delegates was held at CERN, followed by survey collecting quantitative input. During debate, ECRs discussed future colliders terms physics prospects, their implications accelerator detector technology as well computing software. The...
