The NA62 Collaboration has dramatically reduced the uncertainty in its measurement of an extremely rare particle decay, in results just presented at the 2026 La Thuile conference. The study of rare ...
The initial particle in the observed decay is a charged kaon, which consists of two elementary quarks. It had been predicted that kaons can decay into a charged pion - also a pair of quarks - and two ...
What if the odds of an event occurring were about one in ten billion? This is the case for the decay of a positively charged particle known as a kaon into another positively charged particle called a ...

An international team of scientists has, for the first time, simulated the decay process of a kaon into two pions with extreme precision, using some of the fastest supercomputers available today. This ...
