Studies of the K⁺ → π⁺π0 background for the measurement of K⁺ → π⁺νν ̄and π0 → νν ̄ decays

The NA62 experiment aims at measuring the branching ratio of the ultra-rare decay K⁺ → π⁺νν ̄ with 10% precision. To achieve the desired precision, high levels of background rejection must be accomplished using techniques such as high-resolution timing, kinematic rejection, particle identification,...
