Test of Lepton Flavour Universality with Kaon Decays (UNIVERSALEPTO)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 31 août 2016,

Physics at the high-mass scale can also be manifest in dynamical effects at lower, accessible energy. Thus, the existence of new high-mass-scale physics implies new mechanisms by which new interactions between constituents, quarks and gluons with leptons, must also exist. This proposal is for a precision measurement at the NA62 experiment at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) of t ...
