We searched for the $CP$-violating rare decay of neutral kaon, $K_{L} to pi^0 u overline{ u}$, in data from the first 100 hours of physics running in 2013 of the J-PARC KOTO experiment. One candidate event was observed while $0.34pm0.16$ background events were expected. We set an upper limit of $5.1times10^{-8}$ for the branching fraction at the 90% confidence level (C.L.). An upper limit of $3.7times10^{-8}$ at the 90% C.L. for the $K_{L} to pi^{0} X^{0}$decay was also set for the first time, where $X^{0}$ is an invisible particle with a mass of 135 MeV/$c^{2}$.

A search for the rare decay $K_L !to! pi^0 u overline{ u}$ was performed. With the data collected in 2015, corresponding to $2.2 times 10^{19}$ protons on target, a single event sensitivity of $( 1.30 pm 0.01_{rm stat} pm 0.14_{rm syst} ) times 10^{-9}$ was achieved and no candidate events were observed. We set an upper limit of $3.0 times 10^{-9}$ for the branching fraction of $K_L !to! pi^0 u overline{ u}$ at the 90% confidence level (C.L.), which improved the previous limit by almost an order of magnitude. An upper limit for $K_L !to! pi^0 X^0$ was also set as $2.4 times 10^{-9}$ at the 90% C.L., where $X^0$ is an invisible boson with a mass of $135~{rm MeV}/c^2$.
The KTeV E799 experiment has conducted a search for the rare decay $K_{L}topi^{0}pi^{0}gamma$ via the topology $K_{L}topi^{0}pi^{0}_Dgamma$ (where $pi^0_Dtogamma e^+e^-$). Due to Bose statistics of the $pi^0$ pair and the real nature of the photon, the $K_{L}topi^{0}pi^{0}gamma$ decay is restricted to proceed at lowest order by the CP conserving direct emission (DE) of an E2 electric quadrupole photon. The rate of this decay is interesting theoretically since chiral perturbation theory predicts that this process vanishes at level $O(p^4)$. Therefore, this mode probes chiral perturbation theory at $O(p^6)$. In this paper we report a determination of an upper limit of $2.43times 10^{-7}$ (90% CL) for $K_{L}topi^{0}pi^{0}gamma$. This is approximately a factor of 20 lower than previous results.
A search for charmless three-body decays of $B^0$ and $B_{s}^0$ mesons with a $K_{rm S}^0$ meson in the final state is performed using the $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0,mbox{fb}^{-1}$, collected at a centre-of-mass energy of $7mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment. Branching fractions of the $B_{(s)}^0 to K_{rm S}^0 h^{+} h^{prime -}$ decay modes ($h^{(prime)} = pi, K$), relative to the well measured $B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-}$ decay, are obtained. First observation of the decay modes $B_s^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{pm} pi^{mp}$ and $B_s^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-}$ and confirmation of the decay $B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{pm} pi^{mp}$ are reported. The following relative branching fraction measurements or limits are obtained begin{eqnarray*} onumber frac{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{pm} pi^{mp})}{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-})} &=& 0.128 pm 0.017 , ({rm stat.}) pm 0.009 , ({rm syst.}) ,, onumber frac{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{+} K^{-} )}{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-})} &=& 0.385 pm 0.031 , ({rm stat.}) pm 0.023 , ({rm syst.}) ,, onumber frac{{cal B}(B_s^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-} )}{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-})} &=& 0.29phantom{0} pm 0.06phantom{0} , ({rm stat.}) pm 0.03phantom{0} , ({rm syst.}) pm 0.02 , (f_s/f_d) ,, onumber frac{{cal B}(B_s^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{pm} pi^{mp})}{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-})} &=& 1.48phantom{0} pm 0.12phantom{0} , ({rm stat.}) pm 0.08phantom{0} , ({rm syst.}) pm 0.12 , (f_s/f_d) ,, onumber frac{{cal B}(B_s^0 to K_{rm S}^0 K^{+} K^{-} )}{{cal B}(B^0 to K_{rm S}^0 pi^{+} pi^{-})} &in& [0.004;0.068] ; {rm at ;; 90% ; CL} ,. end{eqnarray*}
The $K^+ to pi^0 pi^0 e^+ u$ ($K_{e4}^{00}$) decay has been measured with stopped positive kaons for a data sample of 216 events. A comparison of the observed spectra with a Monte Carlo simulation determined the $K_{e4}^{00}$ form factor. The results are compatible with the $K^+ to pi^+ pi^- e^+ u$ data, as estimated from the $Delta I=1/2$ rule. We also established that the $K_{e4}^{00}$ channel can be used to determine the $pi$-$pi$ scattering lengths.
Using an $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.19~mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ and collected at a center-of-mass energy $sqrt{s} = 4.178~mathrm{GeV}$ with the BESIII detector, we measure the absolute branching fractions $mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K^{+}) = (1.425pm0.038_{rm stat.}pm0.031_{rm syst.})%$ and $mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{L}^{0}K^{+}) =(1.485pm0.039_{rm stat.}pm0.046_{rm syst.})%$. The branching fraction of $D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K^{+}$ is compatible with the world average and that of $D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{L}^{0}K^{+}$ is measured for the first time. We present the first measurement of the $K_{S}^{0}$-$K_{L}^{0}$ asymmetry in the decays $D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S,L}^{0}K^{+}$, and $R(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S,L}^{0}K^{+})=frac{mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K^{+}) -mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{L}^{0}K^{+})}{mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K^{+}) +mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+} rightarrow K_{L}^{0}K^{+})}= (-2.1pm1.9_{rm stat.}pm1.6_{rm syst.})%$. In addition, we measure the direct $CP$ asymmetries $A_{rm CP}(D_{s}^{pm} rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K^{pm}) = (0.6pm2.8_{rm stat.}pm0.6_{rm syst.})%$ and $A_{rm CP}(D_{s}^{pm} rightarrow K_{L}^{0}K^{pm}) = (-1.1pm2.6_{rm stat.}pm0.6_{rm syst.})%$.
