That massless dark photons could exist and have flavor-changing magnetic-dipole interactions with down-type light quarks is an attractive possibility which may be realized in various new-physics scenarios. It is potentially testable not…
If dark photons are massless, they couple to standard-model particles only via higher dimensional operators, while the kinetic mixing with photons, which motivates most of the current experimental searches, is absent. We consider the effect…
We consider the strangeness-changing decays of hyperons into another baryon and missing energy which is carried away by a pair of invisible spinless bosons. Pursuing a model-independent approach and taking into account constraints from the…
We explore the strangeness-changing decays of the lightest hyperons into another baryon plus missing energy within and beyond the standard model (SM). In the SM these processes arise from the loop-induced quark transition $s\to d\nu\bar\nu$…
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 study flavor changing neutral current decays of $B$ and $K$ mesons in the dark $U(1)_D$ model, with the dark photon/dark $Z$ mass between 10 MeV and 2 GeV. Although the model provides an improved fit (compared to the standard model) to…
The study investigates flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) decays of $B$ and $K$ mesons in the context of a dark $U(1)_D$ model with a dark photon/dark $Z$ mass between 10 MeV and 2 GeV. While the model improves the fit to certain decay…
A search for the massless dark photon in the decay $K^{+}\to \pi^{+}\pi^{0}\overline{{} \gamma}$ is performed with the OKA detector exposed to 17.7 GeV/c RF separated secondary beam of the U70 Proton Synchrotron. A high-statistics data…
We survey the possibilities of detecting the $s \rightarrow d \gamma$ transition in kaon and hyperon radiative decays. In the more frequent decays, like $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^o \gamma$, $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \ell^+ \ell^-$, the…
The latest search for the rare kaon decay $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ by the NA62 experiment has produced evidence for it with a branching fraction consistent with the prediction of the standard model. The new result implies that in this decay,…
We present cross sections for the reaction $e^+e^-\to K_S^0K_L^0$ at center-of-mass energies ranging from 3.51 GeV to 4.95 GeV using data samples collected in the BESIII experiment, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 26.5…
A massless dark photon could affect standard-model particles only via higher-dimensional operators and would therefore have eluded recent searches for its massive counterpart, which were based on the assumption that the latter had…
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 $K_L^0 \to \pi^0 \nu \bar{\nu}$…
We study rare three- and four-body kaon decays as a probe of light vector and axial-vector bosons coupled to non-conserved currents. We find that searches for $K_L \to \pi^0 \pi^0 (X\to e^+e^-)$ decays constrain the couplings of light $X$…
Rare kaon decays offer a powerful tool for investigating new physics in $s\to d$ transitions. Currently, many of the interesting decay modes are either measured with rather large uncertainties compared to their theoretical predictions or…
We evaluate the rare radiative kaon decays K_{L,S} -> 3 gamma. Applying the requirements of gauge invariance and Bose symmetry, we derive a general form of the decay amplitude, including both parity-conserving and parity-violating…
A high statistics data sample of the decays of $K^+$ mesons to three charged particles was accumulated by the OKA experiment in 2012 and 2013. This allowed to select a clean sample of about 450 events with…
Using $7.9~\rm{fb^{-1}}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at $\sqrt{s}=3.773$ GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we search for the massless dark photon with the flavor-changing neutral current processes…
Cascade decays of heavy flavor hadrons to states with neutral kaons are discussed as an instrument for detailed studies of the heavy hadron properties. For neutral flavored mesons the well-known kaon oscillations provide a unique…
The charged Kaon meson ($K^+$) features several hadronic decay modes, but the most relevant contribution to its decay width stems from the leptonic decay $K^+ \rightarrow \mu^+ \nu_\mu $. Given the precision acquired on the rare decay mode…
