Event details
Studies of kaon decays have played a unique role in the development of the Standard Model over the past 75 years. Because of the availability of high-intensity beams, combined with the relatively simple final states, kaon decay experiments provide a unique reach to a range of theoretically clean flavour observables. The proposed High Intensity Kaon Experiments (HIKE) project represents a broad, long-term programme at CERN after Long Shutdown 3 covering all aspects of rare kaon and pion decays. The project will continue the successful tradition of kaon experiments at CERN, including the presently operating NA62 experiment. HIKE implementation will follow a staged approach, and will involve phases with charged and neutral kaon beams, as well as data collection in the beam-dump mode. The HIKE physics programme is presented, with reference to the recent NA62 results.
