Abstract: (Springer)
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. Combining NA62 data collected in 2016–2022, a measurement of B(K+→π+νν)=(13.0−3.0+3.3)×10−11 is reported. With 51 signal candidates observed and an expected background of 18−2+3 events, B(K+→π+νν) becomes the smallest branching ratio measured with a signal significance above 5σ.Note:
