/ van Dijk, Maarten (CERN) ; Hayat, Ahsan (CERN) ; Banerjee, Dipanwita (CERN) ; Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Gokturk, Berare (CERN ; Bogazici U.) ; Nevay, Laurie (CERN) ; Petersen, Jorgen (CERN) ; Schwinzerl, Martin (CERN)
The particle composition of the T10 beam line in the renovated East Hall at CERN has been measured using several experimental techniques and detectors: pressure scans on a threshold Cherenkov counter, a lead-glass calorimeter, time-of-flight, and finally using two separate threshold Cherenkov counters.

/ Bloch-Devaux, Brigitte (Louvain U., CP3 ; Birmingham U.) ; Cortina Gil, Eduardo (Louvain U., CP3) ; Minucci, Elisa (Louvain U., CP3 ; Frascati) ; Padolski, Sergey (Louvain U., CP3) ; Petrov, Plamen (Louvain U., CP3) ; Numao, Toshio (TRIUMF) ; Petrov, Yevgeniy (TRIUMF) ; Velghe, Bob (TRIUMF) ; Wong, Vincent Wai Sum (TRIUMF) ; Shang, Victor (TRIUMF) et al.
A search for heavy neutral lepton ($N$) production in $\pi^+\to e^+ N$ in-flight decays using data collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2017-2024 is reported. Upper limits for the extended neutrino mixing matrix element $|U_{e4}|^2$ are established at the level of $10^{-8}$ for heavy neutral leptons with mass in the range 95-126 MeV/$c^2$ and lifetime exceeding 50 ns..

Searches for hidden sectors using $K^+\to\pi^+X$ decays
/ Cortina Gil, Eduardo (Louvain U., CP3) ; Jerhot, Jan (Louvain U., CP3 ; Munich, Max Planck Inst.) ; Minucci, Elisa (Louvain U., CP3 ; Frascati) ; Padolski, Sergey (Louvain U., CP3) ; Petrov, Plamen (Louvain U., CP3) ; Shaikhiev, Artur (Louvain U., CP3 ; Lancaster U.) ; Volpe, Roberta (Louvain U., CP3 ; INFN, Perugia) ; Numao, Toshio (TRIUMF) ; Petrov, Yevgeniy (TRIUMF) ; Velghe, Bob (TRIUMF) et al.
Results from the study of the rare decays $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$, $K^{+}\to \pi^{+}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ and $K^{+}\to\pi^{+}\gamma\gamma$ at the NA62 experiment at CERN are interpreted in terms of improved limits for $B(K^+\to\pi^+X)$ and coupling parameters of hidden-sector models, where X is a mediator. World-leading limits are achieved for dark photon, dark scalar and axion-like particle models..

/Conventional Beams Working Group
This document summarises the main conclusions of the Conventional Beams Working group, which has analysed the beam related and technical requirements and requests in the proposals to the Physics Beyond Colliders study for the North Area at the CERN SPS. We present results from studies on feasibility, requirements, compatibility between proposals and, where possible, the order of magnitude of the costs. [...]

/Physics Beyond Colliders Conventional Beams working group
This document reports the work and results of the Conventional Beams Working Group, which focuses on studies of the beam-related and technical requirements and requests from proposals submitted to the Physics Beyond Colliders Study (PBC) for the North Area at the CERN SPS and the East Area at theCERN PS accelerators. Previous CBWG reports have been published in 2018 and 2022, providing inputs to the European Strategy for Particle Physics (ESPP) discussions that took place in those years.This new document provides updated and supplementary material relevant for the 2025–2026 ESPP Update, including detailed results regarding the HIKE, SHADOWS, DICE/NA60+, ENUBET, NuTag,and SBN projects.

Search for hadronic decays of feebly-interacting particles at NA62
/ NA62 Collaboration
The NA62 experiment at CERN 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, including dark photons, dark scalars, and axion-like particles, may be produced in the absorber and decay in the instrumented volume beginning approximately 80 m downstream of the dump.

A measurement of the $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ decay by the NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is presented, using data collected in 2021 and 2022. This dataset was recorded, after modifications to the beamline and detectors, at a higher instantaneous beam intensity with respect to the 2016–2018 data taking. [...]

First detection of a tagged neutrino in the NA62 experiment
/ NA62 Collaboration
The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS reports the first detection of a tagged neutrino candidate based on the data collected in 2022. The candidate consists of a $K^+ \rightarrow \mu^+ \nu_{\mu}$ decay where the charged particles are reconstructed and the neutrino is detected through a charged-current interaction in a liquid krypton calorimeter..
