Abstract
The NA62 Experiment, thanks to the high intensity proton beam provided by the SPS, is a suitable apparatus to search for Beyond Standard Model (BSM) scenarios feebly coupled to SM, manifesting itself at the MeV-GeV energy range. In this document a report of Heavy Neutral Lepton and Dark Photons searches results and the prospect for other BSM searches at NA62 are given.
Highlights
It is well known that the Standard Model (SM) is not complete, given that it is not able to explain several observations: Dark Matter, Baryon asymmetry of the Universe, neutrino masses, the g − 2 anomaly
In order to detect the effects of very small couplings a large amount of interactions is needed, a high intensity beam and fixed target experiments are suitable
While new experiments dedicated to these exotic searches are being proposed, the already running NA62 experiment can be exploited to this purpose
Summary
It is well known that the Standard Model (SM) is not complete, given that it is not able to explain several observations: Dark Matter, Baryon asymmetry of the Universe, neutrino masses, the g − 2 anomaly. Besides looking for new particles at higher and higher energies, what is called energy frontier, a promising complementary strategy consists in searching for new physics sectors feebly coupled to the SM which could have eluded the LHC experiments because of their tiny couplings. These BSM scenarios could manifest themselves even at low-moderate energy. The particle identification is provided by a Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH) and a system of calorimeters: the hadronic calorimeters, aimed to veto muons, and a electromagnetic calorimeter (LKr) which detects and measures photon energies.
