Sumario: | The NA48 experiment, conceived primarily to look for direct CP violation in neutral kaon decays, has recently published the so far most precise determination of the $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ parameter. After reviewing shortly this result, we report on the 2001 data-taking, which concluded the $\epsilon'$ program by collecting a substantial amount of data with different beam intensity conditions. We also present new precision measurements of the $K^{0}$ and $\eta$ masses and of the $K_{S}$-lifetime, that provide consistency checks of our analysis. Finally, the prospects for the future experimental program are discussed. |
