Rare decays of $K$ and $B$ mesons provide a powerful probe of dark sectors with light new particles. We show that the pair production of $O(100\,{\rm MeV})$ dark states can be probed with the decays of $K_L$ mesons, owing to the enhanced…
Searches for violation of lepton flavour universality and lepton number conservation in kaon decays by the NA62 and NA48/2 experiments at CERN, status and future plans of the CERN kaon programme are presented. A precision measurement of the…
In this short presentation I emphasize the increased importance of kaon flavour physics in the search for new physics (NP) that we should witness in the rest of this decade and in the next decade. The main actors will be the branching…
Kaon physics is at a turning point -- while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, the end of their lifetime is approaching and the future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II and LHCb-Phase-II…
Mirror matter from the dark hidden sector with the same particle content and gauge interactions as in the standard model is still an interesting candidate for dark matter. Several experiments on search for positronium and neutron…
The NA62 experiment at CERN has collected a large sample of $K^+$ and $\pi^+$ decays in flight during Run 1 in 2016--2018 and the ongoing Run 2 which started in 2021. Searches for the decays $K^+\rightarrow\pi^+X$ and $\pi^+\rightarrow…
The neutral-kaon system constitutes a fantastic and unique laboratory for the study of CPT symmetry and the basic principles of quantum mechanics, and a $\phi$-factory represents a unique opportunity to push forward these studies. The…
Investigation at a $\phi$--factory can shed light on several debated issues in particle physics. We discuss: i) recent theoretical development and experimental progress in kaon physics relevant for the Standard Model tests in the flavor…
The ratio $R_K=\frac{\Gamma(K\to e \nu_{e} (\gamma))}{\Gamma(K\to \mu \nu_{\mu} (\gamma))}$ of leptonic decay rates provides a golden probe for testing the structure of the weak interactions because it can be predicted with high accuracy…
The ratio $\mathcal{B}(K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu)/\mathcal{B}(K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu)$ of the branching fractions of kaon decays $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$ and $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ has a maximum of about 4.3 under the assumption that the…
Recent measurements of kaon decays provide new information about CKM unitarity, lepton universality, and discrete symmetries. KLOE-2, the proposed extension of the kaon physics program at Frascati, will extend the world data set on kaon…
In this work, we study the long-standing experimental anomaly in muon $(g-2)$ and also recent anomalous excess in $K_L\to \pi^0+\nu\bar\nu$ at the J-PARC KOTO experiment with sgoldstino. After supersymmetry breaking, the interactions…
We report a search for an invisible particle $X$ in the decay $K^0_L\rightarrow \gamma X$ ($X \to \text{invisible}$), where $X$ can be interpreted as a massless or massive dark photon. No evidence for $X$ was found, based on 13 candidate…
The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS aims to measure the Branching Ratio of the very rare kaon decay K+ -> pi+ nu nubar collecting O(100) events with a 10% background to make a stringent test of the Standard Model. One of the main backgrounds to…

High-energy muon beam dump experiments are powerful probes of new physics models beyond the Standard Model, particularly those involving flavor-dependent interactions. We demonstrate the potential of muon beam dump by placing strong…
Kaon physics provides a unique opportunity to identify new flavour and CP violating interactions beyond the Standard Model (SM). In the SM, implied by the hierarchical structure of the CKM matrix and the GIM mechanism, flavour changing…
The study of deeply bound kaon states is usually carried out or proposed using $K^-$ or $\pi^+$ beams with fixed nuclear target or proton proton interactions or, more recently, heavy ion collisions. The extension of the measurements to…
The NA62 experiment at CERN reports searches for $K^+\to\mu^+N$ and $K^+\to\mu^+\nu X$ decays, where $N$ and $X$ are massive invisible particles, using the 2016-2018 data set. The $N$ particle is assumed to be a heavy neutral lepton, and…
After years of silence we should witness in the rest of this decade and in the next decade the revival of kaon flavour physics. This is not only because of the crucial measurements of the branching ratios for the rare decays…
