We present results of a direct search for the decay K_S->e+e- with the KLOE detector, obtained with a sample of e+e- -> phi -> K_S K_L events produced at DAFNE, the Frascati phi-factory, for an integrated luminosity of 1.9 fb-1. The Standard Model prediction for this decay is BR(K_S->e+e-) = 2 x 10^-14. The search has been performed by tagging the K_S decays with simultaneous detection of a K_L interaction in the calorimeter. Background rejection has been optimized by using both kinematic cuts and particle identification. At the end of the analysis chain we find BR(K_S->e+e-) < 9.3 x 10^-9 at 90% CL, which improves by a factor of ~15 on the previous best result, obtained by CPLEAR experiment.

We present the result of a direct search for the decay K_S -> e+e-, obtained with a sample of e+e- -> phi -> K_S K_L events produced at DAFNE, the Frascati phi-factory, for an integrated luminosity of 1.9 fb^-1. The search has been performed using a pure K_S beam tagged by the simultaneous detection of a K_L interaction in the calorimeter. Background rejection has been optimized by using both kinematic and particle identification cuts. We find BR(K_S -> e+e-) < 9x10^-9 at 90% CL, which improves by an order of magnitude on the previous best limit.
A sensitivity of the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider in a search for the rare decay $eta rightarrow e^+ e^-$ has been studied. The inverse reaction $e^+ e^- rightarrow eta$ is proposed for this search. We have analyzed a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 108 nb$^{-1}$ collected with the SND detector in the center-of-mass energy range 520-580 MeV and found no background events for the reaction $e^+ e^- rightarrow eta$ in the decay mode $etatopi^0pi^0pi^0$. In the absence of background, a sensitivity to ${cal B}(eta rightarrow e^+ e^-)$ of $10^{-6}$ can be reached during two weeks of VEPP-2000 operation. Such a sensitivity is better than the current upper limit on ${cal B}(eta rightarrow e^+ e^-)$ by a factor of 2.3.
Using a data sample of $448.1times10^6$ $psi(3686)$ events collected at $sqrt{s}=$ 3.686 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII, we search for the rare decay $J/psi to phi e^+ e^-$ via $psi(3686) to pi^+pi^- J/psi $. No signal events are observed and the upper limit on the branching fraction is set to be $mathcal{B}(J/psi to phi e^+ e^-) < 1.2 times 10^{-7}$ at the 90% confidence level, which is still about one order of magnitude higher than the Standard Model prediction.
Using a $3.19~mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ data sample collected at the $sqrt{s}~=~4.178$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we search for the rare decay $D_{s}^{+} rightarrow p bar{p} e^{+} u_{e} $. No significant signal is observed, and an upper limit of $mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow p bar{p} e^{+} u_{e}) < 2.0 times 10^{-4}$ is set at the 90% confidence level. This measurement is useful input in understanding the baryonic transition of $D_{s}^{+}$ mesons.
Using an electron-positron collision data sample of 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=3.773$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we present the first search for the radiative leptonic decay $D^{+} rightarrow gamma e^{+}{ u}_{e}$. The analysis is performed with a double tag method. We do not observe a significant $D^{+} rightarrow gamma e^{+}{ u}_{e}$ signal, and obtain an upper limit on the branching fraction of $D^{+} rightarrow gamma e^{+}{ u}_{e}$ decay with the energy of radiative photon larger than 10 MeV of $3.0times10^{-5}$ at the 90% confidence level.
