2014 NA62 Status report to the CERN SPSC

NA62 aims to study the rare decay $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ at the CERN SPS. In this document we report the status of the detector construction and the general progress of the experiment since April 2013. The schedule for the completion of the construction and the preparations in view of the physics data taking in October 2014 are detailed. During the past year many major elements have been delivered, including the RICH vessel and the TDCpix ASIC. The production of the LKR CREAM modules has started and the manufacturing of the Straw chambers and of the LAV stations have continued steadily. All the Straw frontend electronics has been procured.
