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.…

We analyze in the four-generation model the first measurement of the branching ratio of rare kaon decay $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{nu}$, along with the other processes of $K_L-K_S$ mass difference $\Delta m_K$, CP-violating parameter $\epsilon_K,…
