The NA62 is an experiment at CERN with the aim to measure the very rare kaon decay K+ -> pi+ nu nubar. Carried on at CERN SPS the experiment aims to collect about 80 K+-> pi+ nu nubar events at the SM prediction with a signal to background ratio of 10:1 in two years of data taking.
For this purpose CERN awarded CAEN Spa with a contract for the design and production of the Calorimeter REAdout Module (CREAM) for the NA62 high resolution Liquid Krypton Calorimeter (LKr) .
CAEN will design and build 455 CREAM modules for the readout of the 13249 LKr channels.
