Description

The NA62 experiment is designed to measure the BR of the very rare kaon decay K+->pi+nu nubar collecting order 100 events with 10% of background in two years of data taking. The poor current experimental knowledge of this decay, based on 7 events collected by the E787/949 experiments, from one side, and the good theoretical prediction on the other side, make this new measurement very appealing. The experiment set-up and the description of the detectors that are going to be installed will be described.
