Kaon Physics has been one of the building block of the Standard Model of particle physics and yet it is a powerful tool to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. The seminar will focus on the status of K->𝜋𝜈𝜈 and in particular the NA62 experiment at CERN.

Kaon Physics has been one of the building block of the Standard Model of particle physics and yet it is a powerful tool to look for physics beyond the Standard Model, mainly through rare and ultra-rare decays. Among them the K->𝜋𝜈𝜈 decay plays a special role: thanks to the >10¹⁰ suppression predicted by the Standard Model it has a unique sensitivity to new physics up to mass scales of hundreds of TeV. After a brief overview of Kaon Physics, the seminar will focus on the experimental status of K->𝜋𝜈𝜈. In particular the NA62 experiment at CERN dedicated to the study of the K⁺->𝜋⁺𝜈𝜈 decay will be described and the status of the analysis presented.
