A sample of 3984 candidates the K+→π+γγ decay, with an estimated background 291±14 events, was collected by NA62 experiment at CERN during 2017–2018. In order to describe observed di-photon mass spectrum, next-to-leading contribution in chiral perturbation theory found be necessary. The decay branching ratio full kinematic range is measured (9.61±0.17)×10−7. first search for production and prompt axion-like particle gluon coupling process K+→π+a, a→γγ also reported.

A sample of $2.8 \times 10^4$ $K^{+} \to \pi^{+} \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$ candidates with negligible background was collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN SPS in 2017--2018. The model-independent branching fraction is measured to be $(9.15 \pm 0.08)\times 10^{-8}$, a factor three more precise than previous measurements. decay form presented as function squared dimuon mass. measurement parameters and their uncertainties performed using description based on Chiral Perturbation Theory $\mathcal{O}(p^6)$.

A search for the $K^+\to\mu^-\nu e^+e^+$ decay, forbidden within Standard Model by either lepton number or flavour conservation depending on of emitted neutrino, has been performed using dataset collected NA62 experiment at CERN in 2016--2018. An upper limit $8.1\times 10^{-11}$ is obtained decay branching fraction 90% CL, improving a factor 250 over previous search.

The first search for ultra-rare K+ decays into the π+e+e−e+e− final state is reported, using a dataset collected by NA62 experiment at CERN in 2017–2018. An upper limit of 1.4×10−8 90% CL obtained branching ratio K+→π+e+e−e+e− decay, predicted Standard Model to be (7.2±0.7)×10−11. Upper limits are level 10−9 ratios two prompt decay chains involving pair-production hidden-sector mediators: K+→π+aa, a→e+e− and K+→π+S, S→A′A′, A′→e+e−.

We present a measurement of the branching ratio CP violating decay KL->pi+pi- performed by KLOE experiment at phi factory DAFNE. use 328 pb-1 data collected in 2001 and 2002, corresponding to ~ 150 million tagged KL mesons. find BR(KL->pi+pi-) = $(1.963 +/- 0.012 0.017)x 10^-3. This is fully inclusive final-state radiation. Using above result, we determine modulus amplitude |\eta_{+-}| be (2.219 0.013)x 10^{-3} |\epsilon| (2.216 10^{-3}.

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.
