- Abstract
- The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is designed to measure the branching ratio of the ultra-rare decay K+ π+v v with 10% precision. For this purpose the experiment aims to collect of the order of 100 K+ π+ v v events which would require at least 1013K+ decays in the fiducial volume of the detector. The large sample of K+ decays that will be available at NA62 allows the experiment to carry out a rich program for rare and forbidden K+ and π0 decays, including lepton avour and/or number violating modes, sterile neutrinos, exotic particles (e.g. Dark Photons). NA62's potential for such searches in K+ and π0 decays is discussed, with initial sensitivity estimates. In addition, plans for continuing the experiment after 2021 (Long Shutdown 2) are presented, including in particular the possibility to operate in a beam-dump mode for exploring various Dark Matter scenarios.
