Kaon identification and the search for heavy neutrinos at NA62

A search for heavy neutrinos in the decay K\(^+\)→μ\(^+\)ν\(_h\) has been performed using the data collected by the NA62-R\(_K\) experiment in 2007. The signal event selection is presented, along with an estimate of the expected background in the signal region, obtained by Monte Carlo simulation as...
