πνν̄ experiment at CERN

The P326 proposal for an experiment to measure the branching ratio of the very rare kaon decay K + → π + ν ¯ ν at the CERN SPS is described. The proposed experiment aims to collect about 80 K + → π + ν ¯ ν events with a 10% of background in two years of data taking. The status of the project, the R&D and the future perspectives for the experiment are discussed.

Future Perspectives at CERN

Current and future experiments at CERN are reviewed,with emphasis on those relevant to astrophysics and cosmology. These include experiments related to nuclear astrophysics, matter-antimatter asymmetry, dark matter, axions, gravitational waves, cosmic rays, neutrino oscillations, inflation, neutron stars and the quark-gluon plasma. The centrepiece of CERN’s future programme is the LHC, but some...

A GeV at CERN SPS

The measurement of multiple strange particles provides information on the hadronization features of strongly interacting matter produced in heavy ion collisions. If we assume that a deconfinement phase transition occurs in a heavy ion collision, we have to look for qualitative changes (onset phenomena) when varying external parameters like system size and energy density. Therefore we study the ...

Gps Precision Timing at Cern

For the past decade, the Global Positioning System (GPS) has been used to provide precise time, frequency and position co-ordinates world-wide. Recently, equipment has become available specialising in providing extremely accurate timing information, referenced to Universal Time Co-ordinates (UTC). This feature has been used at CERN to provide time of day information for systems that have been i...
