We report on a new measurement of the branching ratio B(KL -> pi0 e+ e- gamma) using the KTeV detector. This analysis uses the full KTeV data set collected from 1997 to 2000. We reconstruct 139 events over a background of 14, which results…

The KTeV experiment has carried out a broad program of studies of rare kaon decays. In this paper we present results on KL -> pi0 gamma gamma, KL -> pi0 e+ e- gamma and KL -> pi0 pi0 gamma. These decays provide a window for testing chiral…

This letter is the first report of the KL -> pi+- e-+ nu e+ e- decay. Based on 19208+-144 events, we determine the branching fraction, B(KL -> pi+- e-+ nu e+ e-; Mee > 5 MeV/c^2, E*ee > 30 MeV) = (1.285+-0.041)x10^-5, and Gamma(Ke3ee; Mee…

The cross section of the process e+ e- --> pi0 pi0 gamma has been measured in the c.m. energy range 600--970 MeV with the CMD-2 detector. The following branching ratios have been determined: B(rho --> pi0 pi0 gamma) =(5.2^{+1.5}_{-1.3} +-…

We performed searches for $K_L\rightarrow \pi^0\pi^0X$ where $X$ may be an axion-like particle which promptly decays to two photons, and the first search for $K_L \rightarrow \pi^0\pi^0\gamma\gamma$ at the KOTO experiment using data taken…

The KLOE collaboration has searched for the phi to K0 K0bar gamma decay using a sample of 1.4 fb-1 of e+e- collisions at W ~ M(phi) collected with the KLOE experiment at the Frascati e+e- collider DAFNE. No previous search exists for this…

It has been known for many years that there is a CP-conserving component for the decay mode K_L -> pi0 e+e- and that its magnitude can be obtained from a measurement of the amplitudes in the K_L -> pi0 gamma gamma decay mode. We point out…

A sample of 7253 $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm e^+e^-(\gamma)$ decay candidates with 1.0% background contamination has been collected by the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS, allowing a precise measurement of the decay properties. The branching ratio…

In an experiment designed to search for and study very rare two-body decay modes of the K-long, we have observed four examples of the decay K-long -> e+ e-, where the expected background is 0.17+-0.10 events. This observation translates…

We present a search for the decays B0 --> e+e-, B0 --> mu+ mu- and B0 --> e mu using data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e-collider at SLAC. Using a dataset corresponding to 384 x 10^6 BBbar pairs, we do not find evidence…

A sample of kinematically identified $K^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^0$ decays obtained with the E949 detector was used to search for the helicity-suppressed decay $\pi^0 \to \nu \bar{\nu}$ resulting in an upper limit of $2.7\times10^{-7}$ at 90%…
