A bstract We analyze the New Physics sensitivity of a recently proposed method to measure the CP-violating $$ \mathcal{B} $$ B ( K S → μ + μ − ) ℓ =0 decay rate using K S − K L interference. We present our findings both in a model-independent EFT approach as well as within several simple NP scenarios. We discuss the relation with associated observables, most notably $$ \mathcal{B} $$ B ( K L → π 0 $$ \nu \overline{\nu} $$ ν ν ¯ ). We find that simple NP models can significantly enhance $$ \mathcal{B} $$ B ( K S → μ + μ − ) ℓ =0 , making this mode a very promising probe of physics beyond the standard model in the kaon sector.more » « less

A bstract A sample of 2 . 8 × 10 4 K + → π + μ + μ − candidates with negligible background was collected by the NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS in 2017–2018. The model-independent branching fraction is measured to be (9 . 15 ± 0 . 08) × 10 − 8 , a factor three more precise than previous measurements. The decay form factor is presented as a function of the squared dimuon mass. A measurement of the form factor parameters and their uncertainties is performed using a description based on Chiral Perturbation Theory at $$ \mathcal{O} $$ O ( p 6 ).more » « less

A bstract A search for the fully reconstructed
$$ {B}_s^0 $$ → μ +μ − γ decay is performed at the LHCb experiment using proton-proton collisions at = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5$$ \sqrt{s} $$ . 4 fb− 1. No significant signal is found and upper limits on the branching fraction in intervals of the dimuon mass are set$$ {\displaystyle \begin{array}{cc}\mathcal{B}\left({B}_s^0\to {\mu}^{+}{\mu}^{-}\gamma \right)<4.2\times {10}^{-8},& m\left({\mu}^{+}{\mu}^{-}\right)\in \left[2{m}_{\mu },1.70\right]\textrm{GeV}/{c}^2,\\ {}\mathcal{B}\left({B}_s^0\to {\mu}^{+}{\mu}^{-}\gamma \right)<7.7\times {10}^{-8},&\ m\left({\mu}^{+}{\mu}^{-}\right)\in \left[\textrm{1.70,2.88}\right]\textrm{GeV}/{c}^2,\\ {}\mathcal{B}\left({B}_s^0\to {\mu}^{+}{\mu}^{-}\gamma \right)<4.2\times {10}^{-8},& m\left({\mu}^{+}{\mu}^{-}\right)\in \left[3.92,{m}_{B_s^0}\right]\textrm{GeV}/{c}^2,\end{array}} $$ at 95% confidence level. Additionally, upper limits are set on the branching fraction in the [2
m μ , 1. 70] GeV/c 2dimuon mass region excluding the contribution from the intermediateϕ (1020) meson, and in the region combining all dimuon-mass intervals. -
Abstract Recent progress has demonstrated that the K → μ + μ − decay carries clean short-distance information, attainable from a measurement of time-dependence sensitive to K L − K S interference effects. We review the ingredients that go into this proposed extraction, and discuss the sensitivity to the CKM parameter η ¯ as well as to various NP scenarios.more » « less
