Description

The NA62 experiment at CERN collected a large sample of charged kaon decays with a low intensity beam and minimum bias trigger conditions in 2007. This allowed measurements of a number of rare decays that are difficult to address in conventional high intensity experiments with highly selectivite trigger conditions. In particular, large samples of K+- --> pi gamma gamma and K+- --> e nu gamma decays have been collected, allowing precision tests of the Chiral Perturbation Theory. The status and first results of these analyses are presented.
