Recent results from NA48/2 and NA62 experiments at CERN

The NA48/2 and $\text{NA62}\text{-}{\text{R}_\text{K}}$ experiments at the CERN SPS collected a large sample of charged kaon decays in flight. $\text{NA62}\text{-}{\text{R}_\text{K}}$ was running in 2007-08 with a highly efficient minimum bias trigger for decays into electrons. A preliminary measurement of the electromagnetic transition form factor slope of the $\pi^0$ from $1.05\times 10^{6}$ fully reconstructed $\pi^0$ Dalitz decays is presented. The obtained value $a = (3.70 \pm 0.53_\text{stat} \pm 0.36_\text{syst})\times 10^{-2}$ represents a $5.8\sigma$ observation of a non-zero slope in the time-like region of momentum transfer. An upper limit on the rate of a lepton number violating decay $K^\pm\to\pi^\mp\mu^\pm\mu^\pm$ is reported from $\sim 1.6\times 10^{11} K^\pm$ decays at NA48/2 in 2003-04: $\mathcal{B} < 8.6\times 10^{-11}$ at $90 \%$ CL. Searches for heavy sterile neutrino $N_4$ and inflaton $\chi$ resonances in $K^\pm\to\pi\mu\mu$ decays are reported. No signal is observed and upper limits on the products $\mathcal{B}(K^\pm\to\mu^\pm N_4)\mathcal{B}(N_4\to\pi^\mp\mu^\pm)$ and $\mathcal{B}(K^\pm\to\pi^\pm \chi)\mathcal{B}(\chi\to\mu^+\mu^-)$ are set in the range $10^{-10}-10^{-9}$ for resonance lifetimes up to $100~\text{ps}$. The result of a search for dark photon with the same sample of decays is also reported. In the absence of observed signal, the limits on the mixing parameter $\varepsilon^2$ in the range $9-70~\text{MeV/c}^{2}$ are improved.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, talk given at HQL 2016, Blacksburg, 22-27 May 201

Results and prospects for K→πννˉK\to\pi\nu\bar{\nu} at NA62 and KOTO

The $K\to\pi\nu\bar{\nu}$ ultra-rare decays are precisely computed in the Standard Model (SM) and are ideal probes for physics beyond the SM. The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is designed to measure the charged channel with a precision of 10\%. The statistics collected in 2016 allows to reach the SM sensitivity. The KOTO experiment at J-PARC aims at reaching the SM sensitivity before performing a measurement with $\sim100$ signal events. The NA62 preliminary result for the charged channel is presented, together with the current experimental status of the neutral channel and their prospects for the coming years.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, Talk presented at the MESON2018 conferenc

Heavy neutrino searches and NA62 status

The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS recorded in 2007 a large sample of $K^+\to\mu^+\nu_\mu$ decays. A peak search in the missing mass spectrum of this decay is performed. In the absence of observed signal, the limits obtained on $\mathcal{B}(K^+\to\mu^+\nu_h)$ and on the mixing matrix element $|U_{\mu4}|^2$ are reported. The upgraded NA62 experiment started data taking in 2015, with the aim of measuring the branching fraction of the $K+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay. An update on the status of the experiment is presented.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures, Talk given at 52nd Rencontres de Moriond (EW session), La Thuile, 18-25 March 201

Neutral pion transition form factor measurement and run control at the NA62 experiment

The measurement of the π0 electromagnetic transition form factor (TFF) slope a is performed in the time-like region of momentum transfer using a sample of 1.1 x 106 π0→ e+e-y Dalitz decay collected at the NA62-RK experiment in 2007. The event selection, the fit procedure and the study of the systematic effects are presented. The final result obtained a = (3.68 ± 0.51stat ± 0.25syst) X 10- 2 is the most precise to date and represents the first evidence of a non-zero π0 TFF slope with more than 3σ. The NA62 experiment based at the CERN SPS is currently taking data and aims at measuring the branching fraction of the K→ πvv ultra-rare decay with 10% precision and less than 10% background. A complex trigger and data acquisition system is in place to record the data collected by the various detectors in use to reach this goal. The Run Control system of the experiment is meant to supervise and control them in a simple transparent way. The choices made to address the requirements for the system and the most important aspects of its implementation are discussed

Search for heavy neutral lepton production in K+ decays

A search for heavy neutral lepton production in K + decays using a data sample collected with a minimum bias trigger by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2015 is reported. Upper limits at the 10−7 to 10−6 level are established on the elements of the extended neutrino mixing matrix |Ue4| 2 and |Uμ4| 2 for heavy neutral lepton mass in the ranges 170–448 MeV/c2 and 250–373 MeV/c2, respectively. This improves on the previous limits from HNL production searches over the whole mass range considered for |Ue4|2 and above 300 MeV/c2 for |Uμ4|2

Fermilab is managed by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC (FRA), acting under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359. The DUNE collaboration also acknowledges the international, national, and regional funding agencies supporting the institutions who have contributed to completing this Technical Design Report.The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and whether protons eventually decay-these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its current state, and its eventual fate. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector technical design report (TDR) describes the DUNE physics program and the technical designs of the single- A nd dual-phase DUNE liquid argon TPC far detector modules. Volume III of this TDR describes how the activities required to design, construct, fabricate, install, and commission the DUNE far detector modules are organized and managed. This volume details the organizational structures that will carry out and/or oversee the planned far detector activities safely, successfully, on time, and on budget. It presents overviews of the facilities, supporting infrastructure, and detectors for context, and it outlines the project-related functions and methodologies used by the DUNE technical coordination organization, focusing on the areas of integration engineering, technical reviews, quality assurance and control, and safety oversight. Because of its more advanced stage of development, functional examples presented in this volume focus primarily on the single-phase (SP) detector module.openAbi B.; Acciarri R.; Acero M.A.; Adamov G.;

Volume I. Introduction to DUNE

The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and whether protons eventually decay—these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its current state, and its eventual fate. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector technical design report (TDR) describes the DUNE physics program and the technical designs of the single- and dual-phase DUNE liquid argon TPC far detector modules. This TDR is intended to justify the technical choices for the far detector that flow down from the high-level physics goals through requirements at all levels of the Project. Volume I contains an executive summary that introduces the DUNE science program, the far detector and the strategy for its modular designs, and the organization and management of the Project. The remainder of Volume I provides more detail on the science program that drives the choice of detector technologies and on the technologies themselves. It also introduces the designs for the DUNE near detector and the DUNE computing model, for which DUNE is planning design reports. Volume II of this TDR describes DUNE\u27s physics program in detail. Volume III describes the technical coordination required for the far detector design, construction, installation, and integration, and its organizational structure. Volume IV describes the single-phase far detector technology. A planned Volume V will describe the dual-phase technology

Design, construction and operation of the ProtoDUNE-SP Liquid Argon TPC

The ProtoDUNE-SP detector is a single-phase liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) that was constructed and operated in the CERN North Area at the end of the H4 beamline. This detector is a prototype for the first far detector module of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), which will be constructed at the Sandford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, USA. The ProtoDUNE-SP detector incorporates full-size components as designed for DUNE and has an active volume of $7\times 6\times 7.2$~m$^3$. The H4 beam delivers incident particles with well-measured momenta and high-purity particle identification. ProtoDUNE-SP's successful operation between 2018 and 2020 demonstrates the effectiveness of the single-phase far detector design. This paper describes the design, construction, assembly and operation of the detector components

Volume III DUNE far detector technical coordination

The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and whether protons eventually decay—these mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its current state, and its eventual fate. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector technical design report (TDR) describes the DUNE physics program and the technical designs of the single- and dual-phase DUNE liquid argon TPC far detector modules. Volume III of this TDR describes how the activities required to design, construct, fabricate, install, and commission the DUNE far detector modules are organized and managed. This volume details the organizational structures that will carry out and/or oversee the planned far detector activities safely, successfully, on time, and on budget. It presents overviews of the facilities, supporting infrastructure, and detectors for context, and it outlines the project-related functions and methodologies used by the DUNE technical coordination organization, focusing on the areas of integration engineering, technical reviews, quality assurance and control, and safety oversight. Because of its more advanced stage of development, functional examples presented in this volume focus primarily on the single-phase (SP) detector module
