Heavy neutrino searches and NA62 status

Abstract

The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS recorded in 2007 a large sample of K+μ+νμK^+\to\mu^+\nu_\mu decays. A peak search in the missing mass spectrum of this decay is performed. In the absence of observed signal, the limits obtained on B(K+μ+νh)\mathcal{B}(K^+\to\mu^+\nu_h) and on the mixing matrix element Uμ42|U_{\mu4}|^2 are reported. The upgraded NA62 experiment started data taking in 2015, with the aim of measuring the branching fraction of the K+π+ννˉK+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu} decay. An update on the status of the experiment is presented.
