The distribution of the K±→π±π+π− decays in the Dalitz plot has been measured by the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS with a sample of 4.71×108 fully reconstructed events. With the standard Particle ...Data Group parameterization the following values of the slope parameters were obtained: g=(−21.134±0.017)%, h=(1.848±0.040)%, k=(−0.463±0.014)%. The quality and statistical accuracy of the data have allowed an improvement in precision by more than an order of magnitude, and are such as to warrant a more elaborate theoretical treatment, including pion–pion rescattering, which is in preparation.
Abstract The NA48/2 experiment at CERN reports the first observation of the K ± → π 0 π 0 μ ± ν decay based on a sample of 2437 candidates with 15% background contamination collected in 2003–2004. ...The decay branching ratio in the kinematic region of the squared dilepton mass above 0.03 GeV2/c 4 is measured to be (0.65 ± 0.03) × 10 −6. The extrapolation to the full kinematic space, using a specific model, is found to be (3.45 ± 0.16) × 10 −6, in agreement with chiral perturbation theory predictions.

A sample of more than one million K +/- ? p + p - e +/- ? (K e 4) decay candidates with less than one percent background contamination has been collected by the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS in ...2003-2004, allowing a detailed study of the decay properties. The branching ratio, inclusive of K e 4 gamma decays, is measured to be BR (K e 4) = (4.257 +/- 0.016 exp +/- 0.031 ext) X 10 - 5 with a total relative error of 0.8 % . This measurement complements the study of S- and P-wave hadronic form factors by assigning absolute values to the relative hadronic form factors obtained earlier in a simultaneous analysis of the pp scattering lengths conducted on the same data sample. The overall form factor normalization f s = 5.705 +/- 0.017 exp +/- 0.031 ext is obtained with a total relative precision of 0.6 % .
A measurement of the form factors of charged kaon semileptonic decays is presented, based on 4.4 × 106K± → π0e±νe (K e3 ± ) and 2.3 × 106K± → π0μ±νμ (K μ3 ±) decays collected in 2004 by the NA48/2 ...experiment. The results are obtained with improved precision as compared to earlier measurements. The combination of measurements in the K e3 ± and K μ3 ± modes is also presented.

The NA48/2 experiment collected data in 2003 and 2004 with the main purpose to study direct CP violation in charged kaons decaying in three pions. Thanks to the huge statistics collected, other ...studies are also possible. In this paper two recent results, in the framework of QCD studies, are reported: the measurement of the K± → π0e±ν Form Factors and the first observation of the rare decay K± → π±π0e+e−.
Effects of new physics in flavor could be found both in Flavor Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) processes and in Lepton Flavor Violation (LFV) modes. The former offer the possibility to deeply test ...the standard model in a clean environment, while the latter are sensitive to contribution from several models beyond the standard model. In the Kaon sector both FCNC and LFV will be investigated in the NA62 experiment. In addition the kaons sector is an ideal place where to look for new particles and tiny effects, in the region of hundreds of MeV/c2. In this paper prospects for exotic searches in NA62 will be presented, together with recent results from NA48/2 and NA62-RK on LFV kaon decays modes.
