 Study of the $K^{\pm} \rightarrow \pi^{\pm} \gamma \gamma$ decay by the NA62 experiment / NA62 Collaboration A study of the dynamics of the rare decay $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm\gamma\gamma$ has been performed on a sample of 232 decay candidates, with an estimated background of $17.4\pm1.1$ events, collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2007. The results are combined with those from a measurement conducted by the NA48/2 collaboration at CERN. [...] arXiv:1402.4334; CERN-PH-EP-2014-025.- Geneva : CERN, 2014 - 17 p. - Published in : Phys.

 Measurement of the branching ratio of the decay $\Xi^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma^{+} \mu^{-} \overline{\nu}_{\mu}$ / NA48/1 Collaboration From the 2002 data taking with a neutral kaon beam extracted from the CERN-SPS, the NA48/1 experiment observed 97 $\Xi^{0}\rightarrow \Sigma^{+} \mu^{-} \bar{\nu}_{\mu}$ candidates with a background contamination of $30.8 \pm 4.2$ events. From this sample, the BR($\Xi^{0}\rightarrow \Sigma^{+} \mu^{-} \bar{\nu}_{\mu}$) is measured to be $(2.17 \pm 0.32_{\mathrm{stat}}\pm 0.17_{\mathrm{syst}})\times10^{-6}$.. arXiv:1212.3131; CERN-PH-EP-2012-288.- Geneva : CERN, 2013 - 12 p. - Published in : Phys.

 Precision Measurement of the Ratio of the Charged Kaon Leptonic Decay Rates / Lazzeroni, C (Birmingham U.) ; Romano, A (Birmingham U.) ; Ceccucci, A (CERN) ; Danielsson, H (CERN) ; Falaleev, V (CERN) ; Gatignon, L (CERN) ; Goy Lopez, S (CERN ; Madrid, CIEMAT) ; Hallgren, B (CERN ; Birmingham U.) ; Maier, A (CERN) ; Peters, A (CERN) et al. A precision measurement of the ratio $R_K$ of the rates of kaon leptonic decays $K^\pm \to e^\pm\nu$ and $K^\pm \to \mu^\pm \nu$ with the full data sample collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in $2007-2008$ is reported. The result, obtained by analysing $\sim\!150000$ reconstructed $K^\pm \to e^\pm \nu$ candidates with $11\%$ background contamination, is $R_K = (2.488\pm0.010)\times10^{-5}$, in agreement with the Standard Model expectation.. arXiv:1212.4012; CERN-PH-EP-2012-367.- Geneva : CERN, 2013 - 18 p. - Published in : Phys.

 Test of Lepton Flavour Universality in $K^{+} \to l^{+}\nu$ Decays / NA62 Collaboration A precision test of lepton flavour universality has been performed by measuring the ratio RK of kaon leptonic decay rates K+ --> e+nu and K+ --> mu+nu in a sample of 59813 reconstructed K+ --> e+nu candidates with (8.71 +- 0.24)% background contamination. The result RK = (2.487 +- 0.013) * 10^{-5} is in agreement with the Standard Model expectation.. arXiv:1101.4805; CERN-PH-EP-2011-004.- 2011 - 16 p. - Published in : Phys. Lett.
