Tag: NA62
The NA62 experiment aims to study rare kaon decays, which can give insights into how top quarks decay – and help to check the consistency of the Standard Model.

Niels Doble (1938–2026)
Niels Doble (1938–2026) — Niels Doble, born on 2 May 1938, passed away on 8 August 2026 after a short illness. Niels was best known for his pivotal contributions to the initial design and subsequent operation of the North Area at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) complex. Niels studied physics at the University of Bristol.

The puzzle of neutrinos, seventy years on
Seventy years ago today, Clyde Cowan, Frederick Reines and their colleagues closed a quarter-century hunt with a paper in Science, having caught neutrinos streaming out of a nuclear reactor in South Carolina. The search had begun in December 1930, when Wolfgang Pauli, in a letter to the “radioactive ladies and gentlemen” gathered at a meeting

NA62 experiment at CERN observes ultra-rare particle decay
In the Standard Model of particle physics, the odds of this decay occurring are less than one in 10 billion
