Subjects
QC Physics
Abstract

A model-dependent measurement of the branching ratio of the K⁺→π⁺γγ decay and a model-independent measurement in bins of the z kinematic variable, performed on the world's largest data sample, collected by NA62, are presented. In particular, the event selection, the main backgrounds and the addition of an option to bias MC generators to increase the precision of estimates, and the study of systematics are discussed. The combined model-independent branching ratio was found to be BR_MI = (0.73 ± 0.04) x 10⁻⁶. The implementation in the NA62 high-level trigger framework of decoding tools for the STRAW sub-detector, necessary for running trigger algorithms, and of output structures to transfer data to storage is discussed. The performance of the KTAG sub-detector, which has the task of identifying the kaon component in the NA62 secondary beam, is presented. The sub-detector is shown to meet the efficiency requirements during all the 2016-2018 data-taking.

Abstract

The first search for ultra-rare $K^+$ decays into the $\pi^+e^+e^-e^+e^-$ final state is reported, using a dataset collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2017-2018. An upper limit of $1.4\times 10^{-8}$ at 90% CL is obtained for the branching ratio of the $K^+\to\pi^+e^+e^-e^+e^-$ decay, predicted in the Standard Model to be $(7.2\pm0.7)\times 10^{-11}$. Upper limits at 90% CL are obtained at the level of $10^{-9}$ for the branching ratios of two prompt decay chains involving pair-production of hidden-sector mediators: $K^+\to\pi^+aa$, $a\to e^+e^-$ and $K^+\to\pi^+S$, $S\to A^\prime A^\prime$, $A^\prime\to e^+e^-$. The QCD axion is excluded as a possible explanation of the "17 MeV anomaly"., Comment: Version to be submitted to Physics Letters B

Abstract

A sample of $1.3 \times 10^5 K^+ \to \pi^0 e^+ \nu \gamma$ candidates with less than 1% background was collected by the NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS in 2017-2018. Branching fraction measurements are obtained at percent relative precision in three restricted kinematic regions, improving on existing results by a factor larger than two. An asymmetry, possibly related to T-violation, is investigated with no evidence observed within the achieved precision.

Abstract

Measurement of the ultra-rare $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ decay at the NA62 experiment at CERN requires high-performance particle identification to distinguish muons from pions. Calorimetric identification currently in use, based on a boosted decision tree algorithm, achieves a muon misidentification probability of $1.2\times 10^{-5}$ for a pion identification efficiency of 75% in the momentum range of 15-40 GeV/$c$. In this work, calorimetric identification performance is improved by developing an algorithm based on a convolutional neural network classifier augmented by a filter. Muon misidentification probability is reduced by a factor of six with respect to the current value for a fixed pion-identification efficiency of 75%. Alternatively, pion identification efficiency is improved from 72% to 91% for a fixed muon misidentification probability of $10^{-5}$., Comment: Updated author list and Ref. 4

Abstract

A search for the $K^+\to\mu^-\nu e^+e^+$ decay, forbidden within the Standard Model by either lepton number or lepton flavour conservation depending on the flavour of the emitted neutrino, has been performed using the dataset collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2016--2018. An upper limit of $8.1\times 10^{-11}$ is obtained for the decay branching fraction at 90% CL, improving by a factor of 250 over the previous search., Comment: Final version, accepted for publication in Physics Letters B

Abstract

A sample of $2.8 \times 10^4$ $K^{+} \to \pi^{+} \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$ candidates with negligible background was collected by the NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS in 2017--2018. The model-independent branching fraction is measured to be $(9.15 \pm 0.08)\times 10^{-8}$, a factor three more precise than previous measurements. The decay form factor is presented as a function of the squared dimuon mass. A measurement of the form factor parameters and their uncertainties is performed using a description based on Chiral Perturbation Theory at $\mathcal{O}(p^6)$., Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures.

Abstract

Using a high-intensity beam and the imaging capabilities of the Liquid Argon Time-Projection Chamber technology, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will perform high-precision measurements of the parameters governing neutrino oscillations. The reduction of background events in nue appearance analyses is of primary importance, with a major contribution coming from pi0 decays to photon showers that may be misidentified as electrons. This poster discusses ongoing work to optimise electromagnetic shower reconstruction in neutrino interactions at the DUNE Far Detector, using Pandora's multi-algorithm approach to pattern recognition. The reconstruction of complex neutrino interaction topologies with multiple overlapping showers is targeted, and the pi0 invariant mass reconstruction is used as a sensitive performance metric that bridges the gap between reconstruction and physics analysis. First, the impact of a novel, deep learning-based approach to reduce contamination between reconstructed tracks and showers is trialled. Issues involving the merging of neighbouring showers are then investigated, and techniques to address these issues utilising calorimetric shower profiles are presented.

Abstract

Among the meson decays, K→πνν‾ are the cleanest environment, from the theoretical point of view, where to search for new physics effects. The NA62 Experiment at CERN SPS aims to measure the BR(K+→π+νν‾) with a 10% precision by the end of 2018. It has been commissioned with technical runs in 2014 and 2015, and some preliminary results of the detector performances and quality of data are here reported.

Abstract

A search for heavy neutral lepton (N) production in $K^+\rightarrow\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ decays using the data sample collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2017–2018 is reported. Upper limits of the extended neutrino mixing matrix element $|U_{e4}|^2$ are established at the level of $10^{−9}$ over most of the accessible heavy neutral lepton mass range 144–462 MeV/$c^2$, with the assumption that the lifetime exceeds 50 ns. These limits improve significantly upon those of previous production and decay searches. The $|U_{e4}|^2$ range favoured by Big Bang Nucleosynthesis is excluded up to a mass of about 340 MeV/$c^2$. The NA62 experiment reports an investigation of the $ {K}^{+}\to {\pi}^{+}\nu \overline{\nu} $ mode from a sample of K$^{+}$ decays collected in 2017 at the CERN SPS. The experiment has achieved a single event sensitivity of (0.389 ± 0.024) × 10$^{−10}$, corresponding to 2.2 events assuming the Standard Model branching ratio of (8.4 ± 1.0) × 10$^{−11}$. Two signal candidates are observed with an expected background of 1.5 events. Combined with the result of a similar analysis conducted by NA62 on a smaller data set recorded in 2016, the collaboration now reports an upper limit of 1.78 × 10$^{−10}$ for the $ {K}^{+}\to {\pi}^{+}\nu \overline{\nu} $ branching ratio at 90% CL. This, together with the corresponding 68% CL measurement of ($ {0.48}_{-0.48}^{+0.72} $) × 10$^{−10}$, are currently the most precise results worldwide, and are able to constrain some New Physics models that predict large enhancements still allowed by previous measurements.

Abstract

Looking for phenomena beyond the Standard Model (SM) in rare decays is a complementary approach to direct searches for New Physics (NP) at colliders. One of the theoretically cleanest processes is the ultra rare decay K+ → π+νν. The goal of the NA62 experiment at CERN SPS is to measure the branching ratio (BR) of this decay with 10% precision. The experiment has been launched in 2014. In 2015, the detector was commissioned at a low intensity beam. The experimental setup is described and performances achieved in 2015 are discussed in view of the final measurement.

Abstract

The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS reports the first search for $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ using the decay-in-flight technique, based on a sample of $1.21\times10^{11}$ $K^+$ decays collected in 2016. The single event sensitivity is $3.15\times 10^{-10}$, corresponding to 0.267 Standard Model events. One signal candidate is observed while the expected background is 0.152 events. This leads to an upper limit of $14 \times 10^{-10}$ on the $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ branching ratio at 95\% CL., Comment: 18 pages, 13 figures
