Construction and test of the SM1 type Micromegas chambers for the upgrade of the ATLAS forward muon spectrometer
/ Agarwala, J (Pavia U.) ; Alviggi, M G (Naples U. ; INFN, Naples) ; Antonelli, M (Frascati) ; Anulli, F (INFN, Rome ; Rome U.) ; Arcangeletti, C (Frascati) ; Auricchio, S (Naples U. ; INFN, Naples) ; Bagnaia, P (INFN, Rome ; Rome U.) ; Bariani, S (Pavia U.) ; Baroncelli, A (Rome III U. ; INFN, Rome3) ; Bashta, I (Rome III U. ; INFN, Rome3) et al.
Large-size Resistive Micromegas have been chosen for the upgrade of the forward muon spectrometer of the ATLAS experiment, the New Small Wheel project. These chambers, together with small-strip Thin Gap Chambers (sTGC), allow reconstruction of high-momentum muon tracks in a high-radiation environment and provide a robust low-threshold single-muon trigger.

The Muon Portal Project: Commissioning of the full detector and first results
/ Riggi, F (Catania U. ; INFN, Catania) ; Antonuccio, V (INAF, Catania) ; Bandieramonte, M (CERN) ; Becciani, U (INAF, Catania) ; Bonanno, G (INAF, Catania) ; Bonanno, D L (INFN, Catania ; Catania U.) ; Bongiovanni, D (INFN, Catania ; Catania U.) ; Fallica, P G ; Gallo, G (Catania U. ; INFN, Catania) ; Garozzo, S (INAF, Catania) et al.
The Muon Portal Project has built a prototype of a real size detector (6 m $\times$ 3 m $\times$ 7 m) for the inspection of containers by muon tomography. This technique may provide 2D and 3D images of the interior of a container, to identify the presence of high-$Z$ materials. [...]

Search for $K^+ \to\pi^+ \nu\overline{\nu}$ at NA62

/NA62
Among the meson decays, K→πνν‾ are the cleanest environment, from the theoretical point of view, where to search for new physics effects. The NA62 Experiment at CERN SPS aims to measure the BR(K+→π+νν‾) with a 10% precision by the end of 2018. [...]

The Muon Portal Project: Design and construction of a scanning portal based on muon tomography
/ Antonuccio, V (Catania Astrophys. Observ.) ; Bandieramonte, M (CERN) ; Becciani, U (Catania Astrophys. Observ.) ; Bonanno, D L (INFN, Catania) ; Bonanno, G (Catania Astrophys.

Observ.) ; La Rocca, P (INFN, Catania ; Catania U.) et al.
Cosmic ray tomography is a technique which exploits the multiple Coulomb scattering of highly penetrating cosmic ray-produced muons to perform non-destructive inspection of high-Z materials without the use of artificial radiation. A muon tomography detection system can be used as a portal monitor at border crossing points for detecting illegal targeted objects. [...]

The beam and detector of the NA62 experiment at CERN
/ NA62 Collaboration
NA62 is a fixed-target experiment at the CERN SPS dedicated to measurements of rare kaon decays. Such measurements, like the branching fraction of the $K^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+} \nu \bar\nu$ decay, have the potential to bring significant insights into new physics processes when comparison is made with precise theoretical predictions.
