Description

The NA62 experiment at the CERN north area was designed and built to study the $K^{+}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay. The $K^{+}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay is a golden mode for flavour physics, and became the rarest decay observed with a significance above 5 sigma following the NA62 measurement of \mathcal{B}(K^{+}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\nu\bar{\nu})=(13.0^{+3.3}_{-3.0})\times10^{-11}$ using 2016–2022 data. A new measurement, from the analysis of the 2023–2024 dataset is presented. With the performance needed to study the ultra-rare $K^{+}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay, the NA62 experiment is able to cover a broad physics program. A selection of the latest results from this program are presented including: precision measurements of kaon decays, studies rare kaon decays and searches for exotic states.
