چکیده

Since their discovery the K-mesons continue to provide valuable information to the theory of the interactions between the elementary particles. In two years of data taking the NA48/2 experiment at CERN SPS recorded more than 4 billion K± → π+π−π± decays devoted to the search of CP violation in the charged kaon system. The huge statistics allows also a precise study of rare kaon decays. The results from the investigation of K± → π±e+e− decay will be shown with their interpretation within several theoretical models. The continuation of the kaon program at CERN is the NA62 experiment devoted to the measurement of Br(K± → π±νν̄) decay with a precision of 10% in two years of data taking. The planned detector setup and the expected background and signal events will be presented. During 2007 a dedicated run devoted to NA62 prototype tests and study of Ke2 decays was taken. The preliminary results from the study of Ke2 decays and the ratio RK = Γ(K± → e±ν)/Γ(K± → μ±ν) at the NA48/2 and NA62 experiments will be shown.

Expression of Interest to Measure Rare Kaon Decays at the CERN SPS

We are investigating the possibility to measure very rare kaon decays at the CERN SPS. The physics motivation is given in Section 2. We are reviewing opportunities to study rare decays of both charged and neutral kaons. We concentrate first on the charged kaon because we are not limited by the current proton intensity that can be delivered by the SPS on the T10 target. The aim of this document ...

Recent results of the NA48/2 experiment

The NA48/2 experiment at CERN SPS has collected the world largest amount of charged kaon decays. During two runs in 2003 and 2004, with about 60 days of effective running each, about 18·109 events were recorded in total. The main goal of NA48/2 was the search for direct CP violation in K± decays into three pions. However, given the high statistics achieved, many other physics topics were also c...

Results on charged kaon and hyperon decays from NA 48

Recent results from the NA48/1 and NA48/2 experiments at the CERN SPS are presented. NA48/2 carried out data taking in 2003 and 2004 collecting charged kaon decays: branching ratios and form factors have been measured for the rare K→πee, K→πγγ and K→πeeγ decays. The NA48/1 experiment has taken data in 2002 using only the KS beam at an increased intensity measuring neutral hyperon radiative deca...

New Results from Na48 Experiment on Neutral Kaon Rare Decays

The NA48 experiment at CERN SPS, described in detail elsewhere, has been designed to measure the direct CP violation parameter R(ǫ/ǫ) in twopion decays of neutral kaons. However, the quality of its simultaneous KL and KS beams , high resolution detectors, fast trigger and performing data acquisition system allow to investigate at the same time rare decays of neutral kaons and neutral hyperons. ...
