NA62 announces its first search for long-lived particles

September 8, 2024
Probing rare particle physics processes is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but to find the needle we first need the haystack – a large amount of statistical data collected at high–luminosity experiments. The NA62 experiment, also known as CERN’s kaon factory, produces this haystack of collision data to allow physicists to study rare particle physics processes and look for weakly interacti
