---+ NA62 Experiment

The experiment aims to measure the very rare kaon decay K<sup>+</sup> -> pi<sup>+</sup> nu nubar in order to extract a 10% measurement of the CKM parameter |V<sub>td</sub>|.  The experiment will use 400 !GeV/c protons from the SPS and aims to collect about 80 to 100 K<sup>+</sup> -> pi<sup>+</sup> nu nubar events at the SM prediction with a signal to background ratio of 10:1 in two years of data taking.

---++ PPE People

Currently, David Britton and Main.DanProtopopescu are directly [[http://greybook.cern.ch/programmes/experiments/NA62_details.html][involved]] in this experiment.

---++ Contributions

Our group, in collaboration with several UK sites, runs [[NA62.NA62MonteCarlo][NA62's Monte Carlo simulations]] on the grid, with the aim to provide around 10<sup>8</sup> events by late 2012. How they are done is documented in [[NA62.NA62MonteCarlo][here]]. We started production in early June 2012:
