Abstract

We study the KLK_L and KSK_S decays into four leptons (eeˉeeˉ,μμˉμμˉ,eeˉμμˉe\bar{e}e\bar{e}, \, \mu\bar{\mu}\mu\bar{\mu},\, e\bar{e}\mu\bar{\mu}) where we use a form factor motivated by vector meson dominance, and show the dependence of the branching ratios and spectra from the slopes. A precise determination of short distance contribution to KLμμK_L\to \mu\mu is affected by our ignorance on the sign of the amplitude A(KLγγ)\mathcal{A}(K_L\to \gamma\gamma) but we show a possibility to measure the sign of this amplitude by studying KLK_L and KSK_S decays in four leptons. We also investigate the effect of New Physics contributions for these decays.
