Abstract
A measurement of the K+->p+nunu 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. Combining NA62 data collected in 2016–2022, a measurement of BR(K+->p+nunu)= 13±3x10^-11 is eported. With 51 signal candidates observed and an expected background of 18 events, BR(K+->p+nunu) becomes the smallest branching ratio measured with a signal significance above 5σ.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
