Abstract

The NA62 experiment recorded a large sample of K⁺→μ⁺ν_μ decays in 2007. A peak search has been performed in the reconstructed missing mass spectrum. In the absence of a signal, limits in the range 2×10⁻⁶ to 10⁻⁵ have been set on the squared mixing matrix element |U_μ4|² between muon and heavy neutrino states, for heavy neutrino masses in the range 300–375 MeV/c². The result extends the range of masses for which upper limits have been set on the value of |U_μ4|² in previous production search experiments.
