After three years of successful operation of Alice Central Trigger Processor (CTP) system for proton-proton, Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions, the Alice CTP is going to be upgraded with a new fist level trigger (L0) board in order to improve the performance of the Alice trigger system. The new first level trigger (L0) trigger board will include several new features: an additional trigger level "LM",...

The NA62 Experiment aims to measure the branching ratio of the ultra-rare kaon decay $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ with 10\% precision, collecting $\sim 100$ events in 2 years of data taking, starting in 2014. Assuming the value of the branching ratio as predicted by the SM ($BR(K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}) = (8.5\pm 0.7) \times 10^{-11}$), to collect enough statistics a...
