Rare Kaon Decay Experiments at CERN

The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS aims to measure the branching ratio of the rare decay $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ with a relative precision of $\sim10%$. To achieve that goal, it is designed to be exposed to $1.2\times 10^{13}$ $K^+$ decays in its fiducial volume. The unprecedented $K^+$ flux will l...

description The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS aims to measure the branching ratio of the rare decay $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ with a relative precision of $\sim10%$. To achieve that goal, it is designed to be exposed to $1.2\times 10^{13}$ $K^+$ decays in its fiducial volume. The unprecedented $K^+$ flux will lead to record sensitivities to rare and forbidden decays of $K^+$ and $\pi^0$, including those that violate lepton flavour or lepton number conservation. The expected NA62 performances for lepton flavour conservation and lepton universality tests are discussed. Relevant on-going or recently completed measurements from the $K^\pm$ decay data sets collected by earlier kaon experiments at CERN (NA48/2 and NA62-$R_K$) are also presented.
