We report on results of a search for the decay mode K_L -> pi^0 gamma e^+ e^- conducted by the E162 experiment at KEK. We observed no events and set a 90% confidence level upper limit of Br(K_L -> pi^0 gamma e^+ e^-)< 7.1x10^{-7} for its…

We report on a search for the rare decay K_L -> pi^0 nu nubar in the KTeV experiment at Fermilab. We searched for two-photon events whose kinematics were consistent with an isolated pi^0 coming from the decay K_L -> pi^0 nu nubar. One…

The $K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar\nu$ decay is analyzed in a model independent way. When lepton flavor is conserved, this decay mode is a manifestation of CP violating interference between mixing and decay. Consequently, a theoretically clean…

Starting from the new sources of $LL$- and $LR$- scalar (slepton) mixings due to R-parity violation, we discuss the structure of lepton-flavor violation focusing on the radiative decay of muon into electron. Using an optimal…

We report on a new measurement of the decay KL -> pi0 gamma gamma by the KTeV experiment at Fermilab. We determine the KL -> pi0 gamma gamma branching ratio to be (1.68 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.08)x10**-6. Our data shows the first evidence for a…

We have searched for neutrinoless $\tau$ lepton decays into $\ell$ and $V^0$, where $\ell$ stands for an electron or muon, and $V^0$ for a vector meson ($\phi$, $\omega$, $K^{*0}$ or $\bar{K}^{*0}$), using 543 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected…

Within the dispersive approach to the amplitude of the rare decay pi0 -> e+e- the nontrivial dynamics is contained only in the subtraction constant. We express this constant, in the leading order in (m_e/\Lambda)^2 perturbative series, in…

The LHCb Collaboration's measurement of R_K = B(B+ -> K+ mu+ mu-)/B(B+ -> K+ e+e-) lies 2.6 sigma below the Standard Model prediction. Several groups suggest this deficit to result from new lepton non-universal interactions of muons. But…
