Abstract:
The NA62 experiment at CERN collected the world's largest dataset of charged kaon decays in 2016-2018, leading to the first measurement of the branching ratio of the ultra-rare $K^+ ightarrow pi^+ u ar{ u}$ decay, based on 20 candidates. In this talk two NA62 analyses are reported using the data samples collected in 2017 and 2018. $K^+ ightarrow pi^+ gamma gamma$ decay is analysed, decay collected using a minimum-bias trigger and the results include measurement of the branching ratio and study of the di-photon mass spectrum. Also, the first search of production and prompt decay of an ALP with gluon coupling in the $K^+ ightarrow pi^+ A, A ightarrow gamma gamma$ process is performed. A sample of $pi^0 ightarrow e^+ e^-$ decay candidates was collected and preliminary results of the branching ratio measurement is presented.
