Abstract

The European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA) Early-Career Researchers (ECR) Panel was invited by the ECFA Detector R&D Roadmap conveners to collect feedback from the European ECR community. A working group within the ECFA ECR panel held a Townhall Meeting to get first input, and then designed and broadly circulated a detailed survey to gather feedback from the larger ECR community. A total of 473 responses to this survey were received, providing a useful overview of the experiences of ECRs in instrumentation training and related topics. This report summarises the feedback received, and is intended to serve as an input to the ECFA Detector R&D Roadmap process., Comment: Editors: Jan-Hendrik Arling, Katherine Dunne, Armin Ilg, Adri\'an Irles, Predrag Milenovic, Steven Schramm, Mariana Shopova, and Sarah Williams

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

The ultra-rare decay $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$, with a very precisely predicted branching ratio of less than $10^{-10}$, is one of the best candidates to reveal indirect effects of new physics at the highest mass scales. The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS is designed to measure $Br(K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu)$ with a decay-in-flight technique, novel for this channel. NA62 took data in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Statistics collected in 2016 and 2017 allows NA62 to reach the Standard Model sensitivity for the $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ search. The analysis of the 2018 data, topic of this PhD thesis, leads to the most precise preliminary measurement ever performed combining the full data set: $Br(K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu) = (1.10^{+0.40}_{-0.35 \; stat} \pm 0.03_{syst}) \cdot 10^{-10}$, with $3.5 \sigma$ significance for the process observation. The context of the measurement is presented, the details of the data analysis are described, with particular emphasis on the improvements achieved in the experimental sensitivity, and the prospects are illustrated.

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. The NA62 experiment reports an investigation of the $K^+\rightarrow\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ mode from a sample of $K^+$ decays collected in 2017 at the CERN SPS. The experiment has achieved a single event sensitivity of $(0.389\pm 0.024)\times10^{-10}$, corresponding to 2.2 events assuming the Standard Model branching ratio of $(8.4\pm1.0)\times10^{-11}$. 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 $1.78\times10^{-10}$ for the $K^+\rightarrow\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ branching ratio at 90\%\,CL. This, together with the corresponding 68\%\,CL measurement of $(0.48^{+0.72 }_{-0.48})\times10^{-10}$, 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

NA62 is a fixed target experiment installed in the CERN North Area that studies the physics of the $K^+$ meson. Its main purpose is to carry out a precision test of the Standard Model, measuring the branching ratio of the ultra-rare $K^+\to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ decay with a 10% precision, then probing New Physics evidence. NA62 collected data in 2016 and 2017, and the 2018 run is going on. The full 2016 data sample has been analysed. It shows that the new in flight technique for the study of the $K^+\to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ decay works, and 1 signal candidate event has been observed.

Abstract

I performed different measurements of $K^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{0} e^{+} \nu \gamma$ decay (Ke3$\gamma$) branching ratio normalized to $K^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{0} e^{+} \nu$ decay (Ke3) with the NA62 experiment at CERN. For $E^*_{\gamma}> 10 MeV$ and $\theta^*_{e,\gamma}> 10^\circ$, 12242 candidate events have been selected, with the estimated fraction of background at the level of $(3.5 \pm 1.4)\%$, and I obtained $\frac{BR(Ke3\gamma)}{BR(Ke3)} =(1.95 \pm 0.04)\%$. With the same selection the asymmetry $A_\xi = \frac{N_+ - N_-}{N_+ + N_-}$ of the T-odd observable $\xi = \frac{[\overrightarrow{p_{\gamma}} \cdot (\overrightarrow{p_e} \times \overrightarrow{p_\pi})]}{M_K^3}$ has been computed, and I measured $A_\xi = (0.016 \pm 0.017)$. The measurements are still dominated by statistical uncertainties, and they can be improved collecting and analysing more data.

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
