“…Negatively charged hadrons (h − ) produced at the target are transported downstream to the NA61/ SHINE experiment by the H2 beamline, in which collimation and momentum selection occur. The beam particles, mostly π − mesons, are identified by a differential ringimaging Cherenkov detector CEDAR [38]. The fraction of pions is ≈95% for 158 GeV/c and ≈100% for 350 GeV/c (see Fig.…”

We present measurements of ρ 0 , ω and K * 0 spectra in π − + C production interactions at 158 GeV/c and ρ 0 spectra at 350 GeV/c using the NA61/SHINE spectrometer at the CERN SPS. Spectra are presented as a function of the Feynman's variable x F in the range 0 < x F < 1 and 0 < x F < 0.5 for 158 and 350 GeV/c respectively. Furthermore, we show comparisons with previous measurements and predictions of several hadronic interaction models. These measurements are essential for a better understanding of hadronic shower development and for improving the modeling of cosmic ray air showers.

The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS aims to measure the branching ratio of the ultra-rare kaon decay K + → π + νν with 10% precision, collecting ∼ 100 events, assuming the Standard Model (SM) branching ratio of 8.4 × 10 −11 , starting in 2016. The NA62 experiment uses a kaon decay-in-flight technique and is exposed to a 750 MHz high-energy unseparated charged hadron beam, in which kaons are a minor component (6%). Kaon identification is therefore mandatory to reduce the interference of the dominant non-kaon component with the experimental measurements. The NA62 kaon identification system and its performances are presented.

“…The KTAG consists of a CERN SPS differential Cherenkov counter (called CEDAR) [3], which is upgraded with an external optics and new photo detectors. The CEDAR detectors are optimized to detect Cherenkov light at a specific angle and, at 75 GeV/c, kaons can be selected by choosing the N2 or H2 as radiator gas and the right pressure …”

Abstract.The rare decays K → π ν ν are excellent processes to probe the Standard Model and indirectly search for new physics complementary to the direct LHC searches. The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS aims to collect and analyse O ( 10 13 ) kaon decays before the CERN long-shutdown 2 (in 2018). This will allow to measure the K + → π + ν ν branching ratio to a level of 10% accuracy. The experimental apparatus has been commissioned during a first run in autumn 2014.
