Kaon experiments at CERN: NA48 and NA62
Abstract
Searches for violation of lepton flavour universality and lepton number conservation in kaon decays by the NA62 and NA48/2 experiments at CERN, status and future plans of the CERN kaon programme are presented. A precision measurement of the helicity-suppressed ratio of the and decay rates has been performed using the full data set collected by the NA62 experiment in 2007--2008. The result is , in agreement with the Standard Model expectation. An improved upper limit on the rate of the lepton number violating decay from the NA48/2 experiment (2003--2004 data set) is presented. Finally, the NA62 project aiming at a measurement of the branching ratio of the ultra-rare decay at 10% precision is discussed.
