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.
Abstract The Physics Beyond Colliders initiative is an exploratory study aimed at exploiting the full scientific potential of CERN’s accelerator complex and infrastructures through projects complementary to LHC other possible future colliders. These will target fundamental physics questions in modern particle physics. This document presents status proposals presented framework Standard Model working group, explore their reach impact that CERN could have next 10–20 years on international landscape.
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.
The present report documents the results of Working Group 2: B, D and K decays, workshop on Flavor in Era LHC, held at CERN from November 2005 through March 2007. With advent we will be able to probe New Physics (NP) up energy scales almost one order magnitude larger than it has been possible with accelerator facilities. While direct detection new particles main avenue establish presence NP indirect searches provide precious complementary information, since most probably not measure full...
A precision measurement of the ratio RK rates kaon leptonic decays K±→e±ν and K±→μ±ν with full data sample collected by NA62 experiment at CERN in 2007–2008 is reported. The result, obtained analysing ∼150000 reconstructed candidates 11% background contamination, RK=(2.488±0.010)×10−5, agreement Standard Model expectation.
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. This paper provides compact summary talks discussions from Kaons@CERN 2023 workshop, held September CERN.
The NOMAD experiment is a short base-line search for νμ − ντ oscillations in the CERN neutrino beam. ντ's are searched through their charged current interactions followed by observation of resulting τ− its electronic, muonic or hadronic decays. These decays recognized using kinematical criteria necessitating use light target which enables reconstruction individual particles produced interactions. This paper describes various components detector: and muon drift chambers, electromagnetic...
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.

Abstract As the second quantum revolution comes to pass with its potential revolutionize our lives, it becomes increasingly relevant educate public about mechanics. Quantum literacy is also a formidable challenge and opportunity for massive cultural uplift, since fosters possibility citizens engender their creativity practice new way of thinking. However, theory highly counterintuitive, manifesting in reality we have no direct experience of, represented by mathematically difficult...
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,...
