Muon Pion Separation for the K+ → π+ ν ν Measurement with the NA62 Experiment — •Riccardo Aliberti — Johannes Gutenberg University - Mainz
The ambitious goal of the NA62 experiment is to achieve a direct measurement of the K+ → π+ νν branching ratio with an accuracy around 10%. This decay has a theoretical BR of (8.4 ± 1.0 ) × 10−11 with a single track detectable: the π+.
The main decay channels of charged kaons have rates several orders of magnitude larger than those for the signal. For this reason the presence of a very efficient veto system to reject background events is mandatory.
The discrimination between muons and pions is one of the central issues for the measurement of the K+ → π+ νν decay.
In this context the measurement of the energy deposit inside the hadron calorimeter is one of the most important inputs to the pion-muon separation.
This talk presents the procedure of the absolute calibration of the NA62 hadron calorimeter with particular focus on the usage of stopped high-energetic muons to calibrate the electromagnetic response of the detector.
