Searches for charged lepton flavor violation in the muon sector stand out among the most sensitive and clean probes for physics beyond the Standard Model. Currently, $\mu^+ \to \mathrm{e}^+ \gamma$ experiments provide the best constraints…
The KOTO experiment was designed to observe and study the K$^{0}_{L} \rightarrow$ $\pi^{0}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay at J-PARC. The Standard Model (SM) prediction for the process is (3.0 $\pm$ 0.3) x 10$^{-11}$ with small uncertainties. This…
The decays and mixing of $K$ mesons are remarkably sensitive to the weak interactions of quarks and leptons at high energies. They provide important tests of the standard model at both first and second order in the Fermi constant $G_F$ and…
