Abstract
The NA62 experiment at CERN took data in 2016–2018 with the main goal of measuring the K + → νν̅ decay. The NA62 dataset is also exploited to search for light feebly interacting particles produced in kaon decays. Searches for K + → e + N and K + → μ + N decays, where N is a massive invisible particle, are performed. The N particle is assumed to be a heavy neutral lepton, and the results are expressed as upper limits of 𝒪(10-8) the neutrino mixing parameter |U14|2, where l = e,μ. Dedicated trigger lines were employed to collect di-lepton final states, which allowed stringent upper limits to be established for the rates lepton flavor and lepton number violating kaon decays. Upper limits on the rates of several K + decays violating lepton flavour and lepton number conservation, obtained by analysing this dataset, are presented here.
欧洲核子研究中心的NA62实验在2016-2018年期间采集了数据,主要目标是测量K+→νν̅衰变。此外,还利用 NA62 数据集搜索在 kaon 衰变中产生的轻微弱相互作用粒子。对 K + → e + N 和 K + → μ + N 衰变进行了搜索,其中 N 是一个大质量隐形粒子。N粒子被假定为重中性轻子,结果以中微子混合参数|U14|2的𝒪(10-8)上限表示,其中l = e,μ。专用的触发线被用来收集二轻子最终态,从而为轻子味道和轻子数目违反高昂子衰变的速率确定了严格的上限。本文介绍了通过分析该数据集获得的几种违反轻子味道和轻子数目守恒的 K + 衰变的速率上限。
