Description

The NA62 experiment has been designed to measure the branching fraction of the decay K+ → π+νν with ∼ 10% precision in two years of data taking at the CERN SPS. The branching fraction of this decay is calculated with a precision of few percents within the Standard Model and its measurement can put constraints on new physics scenarios complementary to LHC physics. In this paper, the NA62 experimental layout and the current status of detector construction will be presented.
