The $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ decay in the NA62 experiment at CERN

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2014-11-25 v1

Abstract

The main aim of the NA62 experiment at CERN is to study the rare K+π+ννˉK^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu} decay and measure its Branching Ratio (BR) with 1010% precision. Due to its theoretical precision, this decay is an excellent probe to test the presence of New Physics (NP) at the highest scale complementary to LHC. At less than one month from the starting of the NA62 pilot run, the motivations, strategy and status of the experiment are described.
