Despite not being designed for it, the LHCb experiment has given world-leading contributions in kaon and hyperon physics. In this contribution I review the prospects for kaon physics at LHCb exploiting the already acquired data and the current and future Upgrade scenarios.

This report details the capabilities of LHCb and its upgrades towards the study of kaons and hyperons. The analyses performed so far are reviewed, elaborating on the prospects for some key decay channels, while proposing some new measurements in LHCb to expand its strangeness research program.
We report on the first measurements of the LHCb experiment, as obtained from $pp$ collisions at $sqrt{s} = 0.9$ TeV and 7 TeV recorded using a minimum bias trigger. In particular measurements of the absolute $K^0_S$ production cross section at $sqrt{s} = 0.9$ TeV and of the $bar{Lambda}/Lambda$ ratio both at $sqrt{s} = 0.9$ TeV and 7 TeV are discussed and preliminary results are presented.
The phi-factory DAPHNE offers a possibility to select pure kaon beams, charged and neutral ones. In particular, neutral kaons from phi->KS KL are produced in pairs and the detection of a KS (KL) tags the presence of a KL (KS). This allows to perform precise measurements of kaon properties by means of KLOE detector. Another advantage of a phi-factory consists in fact that the neutral kaon pairs are produced in a pure quantum state (J^(PC) = 1^(--)), which allowsto investigate CP and CPT symmetries via quantum interference effects, as well as the basic principles of quantum mechanics.A review of the most recent results of the KLOE experiment at DAPHNE using pure kaon beams or via quantum interferometry is presented together with prospects for kaon physics at KLOE-2.
We report on the first searches for lepton flavour violating $tau^-$ decays at a hadron collider. These include searches for the lepton flavour violating decay $tau^-to mu^+mu^-mu^-$ and the lepton flavour and baryon number violating decays $tau^-to bar{p}mu^+mu^-$ and $tau^-to pmu^-mu^-$. Upper limits of ${cal B}(tau^-to mu^+mu^-mu^-) < 4.6 times 10^{-8}$, ${cal B}(tau^-to bar{p}mu^+mu^-) < 3.4 times 10^{-7}$ and ${cal B}(tau^-to pmu^-mu^-) < 4.6 times 10^{-7}$ are set at 90% confidence level. A measurement of the inclusive $Ztotau^+tau^-$ cross-section at 7 TeV is also reported and is found to be consistent with the Standard Model. The ratio of the $Ztotau^+tau^-$ cross-section to the $Ztomu^+mu^-$ cross-section is found to be consistent with lepton universality.
During 2011 the LHCb experiment at CERN collected 1.0 fb-1 of sqrt{s} = 7 TeV pp collisions. Due to the large heavy quark production cross-sections, these data provide unprecedented samples of heavy flavoured hadrons. The first results from LHCb have made a significant impact on the flavour physics landscape and have definitively proved the concept of a dedicated experiment in the forward region at a hadron collider. This document discusses the implications of these first measurements on classes of extensions to the Standard Model, bearing in mind the interplay with the results of searches for on-shell production of new particles at ATLAS and CMS. The physics potential of an upgrade to the LHCb detector, which would allow an order of magnitude more data to be collected, is emphasised.
