The NA62 experiment (known as P-326 at the stage of the proposal) is a fixed-target particle physics experiment in the North Area of the SPS accelerator at CERN. The experiment was approved in February 2007. Data taking began in 2015, and the experiment is expected to become the first in the world to probe the decays of the charged kaon with probabilities down to 10−12. The experiment's spokesperson is Giuseppe Ruggiero (since October 2022; the former spokespersons were Cristina Lazzeroni 2019--2022 and Augusto Ceccucci before 2019). The collaboration involves 308 participants from 33 institutions and 16 countries around the world.[1]
