Description

The NA62 experiment at CERN, designed to measure the highly-suppressed decay $K^{+} \to \pi^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$, has the capability to collect data in a beam-dump mode, where 400 GeV protons are dumped on an absorber. In this configuration, New Physics particles may be produced in the absorber and decay in an instrumented volume beginning approximately 80 m downstream of the dump. Preliminary results from a search for Heavy-Neutral leptons decaying in flight to semi-leptonic final states are reported, based on an analysis of a sample of $6.2 \times 10^{17}$ protons on dump collected in 2021, 2023, and 2024.
