Precise measurements of the branching ratios for the flavor-changing neutral current decays $K\toπν\barν$ can provide unique constraints on CKM unitarity and, potentially, evidence for new physics. It is important to measure both decay modes, $K^+\toπ^+ν\barν$ and $K_L\toπ^0ν\barν$, since different new physics models affect the rates for each channel differently. The goal of the NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is to measure the BR for the charged channel to within 10%. For the neutral channel, the BR has never been measured. We are designing the KLEVER experiment to measure BR($K_L\toπ^0ν\barν$) to $\sim$20% using a high-energy neutral beam at the CERN SPS starting in LHC Run 4. The boost from the high-energy beam facilitates the rejection of background channels such as $K_L\toπ^0π^0$ by detection of the additional photons in the final state. On the other hand, the layout poses particular challenges for the design of the small-angle vetoes, which must reject photons from $K_L$ decays escaping through the beam exit amidst an intense background from soft photons and neutrons in the beam. Background from $Λ\to nπ^0$ decays in the beam must also be kept under control. We present findings from our design studies for the beamline and experiment, with an emphasis on the challenges faced and the potential sensitivity for the measurement of BR($K_L\toπ^0ν\barν$).
$R_K$ and $K^+\rightarrowπ^+ν\barν with NA62 at CERN SPS
介绍了CERN SPS的NA 62实验的最新结果和展望。NA 62实验在两年的数据采集中对$K^+\rightarrow e^\pmν$和K^+ \rightarrow μ^ \pm ν $ decay rates using the full data set collected in 2007. The result is in agreement with the Standard Model expectation. The ultra-rare decay $ K^+ \rightarrow π^+ν \bar ν $ is an excellent processes to make tests of new physics at the highest scale complementary to the LHC thanks to their theoretically cleanness. The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS aims to collect of the order of 100 $ K^+ \rightarrow π^+ ν \bar ν$事件的比率$R_K$进行了最精确的测量，将本底保持在10%的水平。

NA 48/2收集了最大量的$K\to3 π$。对CP破坏效应敏感的电荷不对称性参数$A_g$，在三电荷π介子模（“带电”模）和两个中性π介子处于终态的模（“中性”模）中均得到了$10^{-4}$（初步）的测量精度.我们将讨论“中性”模式下的Dalitz图结构，以指出带电π介子再散射的影响。本文将介绍荷电模式下Dalitz图参数的新的初步测量结果
我们提出的最终结果实验NA 50的Charmonia生产在铅铅相互作用在158 A GeV。随着中心性的增加，观察到一个强大的增加抑制，对于JPSI和PSIPRIME共振。我们也提出了新的发展，关于jpsi和psiprime正常的核吸收测定推导出的质子核数据。它们与Pb-Pb结果的比较使我们能够得出结论，jpsi异常抑制集在中间中心，而S-U结果显示出与p-A行为的合理一致性。在S-U相互作用中，psiprime已经受到了明显更强的抑制，这在Pb-Pb系统中不断增加，并且与从p-A碰撞推导出的预期行为完全不相容。
The onset of the anomalous J/psi suppression in Pb-Pb collisions at the CERN SPS
NA 50实验观测到的J/psi抑制是158 AGeV的Pb-Pb碰撞中夸克-胶子等离子体形成的最显著特征之一。J/psi的生产已被研究作为一个函数的碰撞中心估计通过前向能量EZDC中释放的零度量热计（ZDC）。研究碰撞中参与核子的数量、Npart和EZDC之间的相关性，可以检查J/psi抑制模式与EZDC是否与表示为Npart函数的突然J/psi抑制机制兼容。

Transverse momentum fluctuations and Δη-Δϕcorrelations in p+p interactions at the CERN SPS energies
NA 61/SHINE实验旨在发现强相互作用物质的临界点，并研究解除禁闭开始的性质。这些目标是通过测量质子-质子、质子-核和核-核相互作用中强子产生特性随碰撞能量和系统尺寸的变化来实现的。接近临界点的波动增加的预测。本文将介绍利用NA 61/SHINE能量扫描对p+p碰撞的横向动量涨落和两粒子赝快度/方位角关联的初步结果。这些新的结果将与NA 49中心Pb+Pb碰撞和模型预测的数据进行比较。
