The rare kaon decays K_L -> pi^0 nu {bar nu}, K^+ -> pi^+ nu {bar nu}, K_L -> pi^0 e^+ e^- and K_L -> pi^0 mu^+ mu^- are theoretically very clean and, being strongly CKM suppressed, highly sensitive to New Physics (NP). Recent Flavour…
Meson decays offer a good opportunity to probe new physics. The rare kaon decay $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu\bar{\nu}$ is one of the cleanest of them and, for this reason, is rather sensitive to new physics, in particular, vector mediators.…
The experimental status of the $K \to \pi \nu \bar{\nu}$ search is presented. The $K \to \pi \nu \bar{\nu}$ decay is sensitive to New Physics because it is theoretically pristine and highly suppressed. The $K_L^0 \to \pi^0 \nu \bar{\nu}$…
