Search for hadronic decays of feebly-interacting particles at NA62 / Cortina Gil, Eduardo (Louvain U., CP3) ; Jerhot, Jan (Louvain U., CP3 ; Munich, Max Planck Inst.) ; Lurkin, Nicolas (Louvain U., CP3) ; Bryman, Douglas (British Columbia U. ; TRIUMF) ; Numao, Toshio (TRIUMF) ; Velghe, Bob (TRIUMF) ; Wong, Vincent Wai Sum (TRIUMF) ; Hives, Zdenko (Charles U.) ; Husek, Tomas (Charles U. ; Birmingham U.) ; Kampf, Karol (Charles U.) et al.
The NA62 experiment at CERN has the capability to collect data in a beam-dump mode, where 400 GeV protons are dumped on an absorber. In this configuration, New Physics particles, including dark photons, dark scalars, and axion-like particles, may be produced in the absorber and decay in the instrumented volume beginning approximately 80 m downstream of the dump.

Observation of the K+π+νν¯ decay and measurement of its branching ratio / Cortina Gil, Eduardo (Louvain U., CP3) ; Jerhot, Jan (Louvain U., CP3 ; Munich, Max Planck Inst.) ; Lurkin, Nicolas (Louvain U., CP3) ; Bryman, Douglas (British Columbia U. ; TRIUMF) ; Numao, Toshio (TRIUMF) ; Velghe, Bob (TRIUMF) ; Wong, Vincent Wai Sum (TRIUMF) ; Hives, Zdenko (Charles U.) ; Husek, Tomas (Charles U. ; Birmingham U.) ; Kampf, Karol (Charles U.) et al.
A measurement of the K+π+νν¯ decay by the NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is presented, using data collected in 2021 and 2022. This dataset was recorded, after modifications to the beamline and detectors, at a higher instantaneous beam intensity with respect to the 2016–2018 data taking. [...]

First search for K+π0πμe decays / NA62 Collaboration
The first search for the lepton number violating decay K+π0πμ+e+ and lepton flavour violating decays K+π0π+μe+, K+π0π+μ+e has been performed using a dataset collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2016–2018. Upper limits of 2.9×1010, 3.1×1010 and 5.0×1010, respectively, are obtained at 90% CL for the branching ratios of the three decays on the assumption of uniform phase-space distributions..

Development of a new CEDAR for kaon identification at the NA62 experiment at CERN / NA62 Collaboration
The NA62 experiment at CERN utilises a differential Cherenkov counter with achromatic ring focus (CEDAR) for tagging kaons within an unseparated monochromatic beam of charged hadrons. The CEDAR-H detector was developed to minimise the amount of material in the path of the beam by using hydrogen gas as the radiator medium. [...]

Search for leptonic decays of dark photons at NA62Search for Leptonic Decays of Dark Photons at NA62 / NA62 Collaboration
The NA62 experiment at CERN, configured in beam-dump mode, has searched for dark photon decays in flight to electron-positron pairs using a sample of 1.4×1017 protons on dump collected in 2021. No evidence for a dark photon signal is observed. [...]

Measurement of the K+π+γγ decay / NA62 Collaboration
A sample of 3984 candidates of the K+π+γγ decay, with an estimated background of 291±14 events, was collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN during 2017–2018. In order to describe the observed di-photon mass spectrum, the next-to-leading order contribution in chiral perturbation theory was found to be necessary. [...]

Search for K+ decays into the π+e+ee+e final state / NA62 Collaboration
The first search for ultra-rare K+ decays into the π+e+ee+e final state is reported, using a dataset collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2017-2018. An upper limit of 1.4×108 at 90% CL is obtained for the branching ratio of the K+π+e+ee+e decay, predicted in the Standard Model to be (7.2±0.7)×1011. [...]

A study of the K+π0e+νγ decay / NA62 Collaboration
A sample of 1.3×105K+π0e+νγ 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. [...]
