As first observed by the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS, the $\p0p0$ invariant mass (M00) distribution from $\kcnn$ decay shows a cusp-like anomaly at M00=2m+, where m+ is the charged pion mass. An analysis to extract the pi pi…

New results from the NA48 experiment on kaon and hyperon decays relevant to |V_us| are reported here. For charged kaons we present measurements of BR(K+- -> pi0 e+- nu) and BR(K+- -> pi0 mu+- nu). On neutral kaon decays we report the…
A search for the decay $K_S\to\pi^0\gamma\gamma$ has been made using the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS. Using data collected in 1999 during a 40-hour run with a high-intensity $K_S$ beam, an upper limit for the branching ratio…
The anomaly (cusp) in the mass spectrum of two neutral pions from the three-pion decays of charged kaon has been observed in the NA48/2 experiment. Using the recently developed interpretation of this effect in terms of Chiral Perturbative…
The NA48/2 and NA62-$R_K$ experiments at the CERN SPS collected large samples of charged kaon decays in flight in 2003--07. The data analysis is still on-going (with over 20 publications produced so far); the recent results from these…
The NA48/2 Collaboration at CERN has accumulated unprecedented statistics of rare kaon decays in the Ke4 modes: Ke4(+-) ($K^\pm \to \pi^+ \pi^- e^\pm \nu$) and Ke4(00) ($K^\pm \to \pi^0 \pi^0 e^\pm \nu$) with nearly one percent background…
The rare $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm\pi^0 e^+e^-$ decay, currently under analysis by the NA48/2 Collaboration, is considered. We have performed two theoretical approaches to calculate the differential decay width -- in the kaon rest frame, where we…
