Description

The flavour-changing neutral current decay $K^+\to\pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$ is induced at the one-loop level in the Standard Model, and is well suited to explore its structure and, possibly, its extensions. The NA62 experiment took data in 2016--2018 with the main goal of measuring the $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ decay. A scaled down di-muon trigger chain was operating along with the main trigger during the whole data taking period resulting in a large sample of about $3 \times 10^{12}$ kaon decays in the fiducial volume recorded using the di-muon trigger. New results from an analysis of the $K^+\to\pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$ decay using this sample will be presented.
