Description

The NA48/3-P326 proposal for an experiment to measure the branching ratio of the very rare kaon decay $K^+\rightarrow\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ at the CERN SPS will be described. The proposed experiment aims to collect about 80 $K^+\rightarrow\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ 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 will be discussed.
