Al Cern of Geneva a was observed very rare event which could mark the beginning of a new era in physics. Thanks to the experiment NA62coordinated by Italian Giuseppe Ruggieroresearchers detected the decay of a kaonea particle discovered almost 80 years ago, in an unexpected way compared to Standard model. This result could indicate the existence of unknown particles, opening new avenues for the exploration of new physics.
The charged kaon is a particle that, according to the Standard Model, decays into a charged pion and a couple of neutrino-antineutrino less than once every 10 billion decays. However, the data collected by the NA62 show that these events are the 50% more than expected. Although the current results do not allow us to draw definitive conclusions, this discrepancy could be a clue unknown particles which alter the behavior of the kaon.
Very rare event at CERN: cWhat awaits us in the next few years?
Second Rogerthe experiment analyzed only a quarter of the available data and will collect much more over the next two years. This could lead to a breakthrough discovery within the next few years 2-3 yearsbut it will be necessary to combine the NA62 results with those of other experiments. Charged kaon decay is one of the rarest and most interesting processes to study, as it can reveal deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model and provide concrete evidence of one new physics.
This discovery marks a fundamental step for frontier research. Second Cristina Lazzeroniwho previously coordinated the experiment, the decay observed at Cern represents the rarer decay to reach the level of discovery. This achievement would not have been possible without exceptional teamwork by the international team of researchers involved.
