Abstract

Searches for heavy neutral lepton production in K<sup>+</sup> ? e<sup>+N</sup> and K<sup>+</sup> ? µ<sup>+N</sup> decays using the data set collected by the NA62 experiment at CERN in 2016-18 are presented. Upper limits on the elements of the extended neutrino mixing matrix and are established at the levels of 10<sup>-9</sup> and 10<sup>-8</sup>, respectively, improving on the earlier searches for heavy neutral lepton production and decays in the kinematically accessible mass range. Searches for the K<sup>+</sup> ? µ<sup>+vvv</sup> and K<sup>+</sup> ? µ<sup>+v</sup>X decays, where X is a new light invisible particle, are also reported.
