The decays $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ and $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$, being the theoretically cleanest rare decays of mesons, are very sensitive probes of New Physics. In view of the excellent prospects of reaching the Standard Model sensitivity…
The KLEVER experiment aims to measure ${\rm BR}(K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \overline{\nu})$, supplementing the ongoing NA62 measurement of ${\rm BR}(K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \overline{\nu})$, to provide new input on CKM unitarity and potentially new…
The ratio of the leptonic charged kaon decays $R_K= \Gamma(K^{\pm} \to e^{\pm}\nu) / \Gamma(K^{\pm} \to \mu^{\pm}\nu)$ is sensitive to the structure of the week interactions and can be precisely calculated within the Standard Model.…

The NA62 experiment at CERN collected a large sample of charged kaon decays with a highly efficient trigger for decays into electrons in 2007. The kaon beam represents a source of tagged neutral pion decays in vacuum. A measurement of the…
High-intensity proton beams impinging on a fixed target or beam dump allow to probe new physics via the production of new weakly-coupled particles in hadron decays. The CERN SPS provides opportunities to do so with the running NA62…
