NA62 is a fixed-target experiment at the CERN SPS dedicated to measurements of rare kaon decays. Such measurements, like the branching fraction of the K → πνν̄ decay, have the potential to bring significant insights into new physics processes when comparison is made with precise theoretical predictions. For this purpose, innovative techniques have been developed, in particular, in the domain of low-mass tracking devices. Detector construction spanned several years from 2009 to 2014. The collaboration started detector commissioning in 2014 and will collect data until the end of 2018. The beam line and detector components are described together with their early performance obtained from 2014 and 2015 data.

Expression of interest for the CODEX-b detector (2019, methodology): “Forward/beam dump detectors (FASER, NA62, SHiP): Medium to long lifetime regime (0.1 cτ 107 m) for light LLPs (mLLP few GeV), for low √ ŝ production channels.”
Revised constraints and Belle II sensitivity for visible and invisible axion-like particles (2017, background): “The coming years promise significant progress in this area, driven first of all by the upcoming Belle II experiment [7], but also for example by NA62 [8] and by longer-term projects such as the planned SHiP facility [9].”
