An upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay $K^+ ! rightarrow ! pi^+ u overline{ u}$ is set at $2.4 times 10^{-9}$ at the 90% C.L. using pions in the kinematic region $214~{rm MeV}/c < P_pi < 231~{rm MeV}/c$. An upper limit of $5.2 times 10^{-10}$ is found on the branching ratio for decays $K^+ ! rightarrow ! pi^+ X^0$, where $X^0$ is any massless, weakly interacting neutral particle. Limits are also set for cases where $M_{X^0}>0$.

Evidence of the $K^+tomu^+ ubar u u$ decay was searched for using E949 experimental data with an exposure of $1.70times 10^{12}$ stopped kaons. The data sample is dominated by the backgrond process $K^+tomu^+ u_mugamma$. An upper limit on the decay r ate $Gamma(K^+tomu^+ ubar u u)< 2.4times 10^{-6}Gamma(K^+to all)$ at 90% confidence level was set assuming the Standard Model muon spectrum. The data are presented in such a way as to allow calculation of rates for any assumed $mu^+$ spectrum.

We report the results of a search for the decay $K^+ to pi^+ u bar u$ in the kinematic region with $pi^+$ momentum $140 < P < 195$ MeV/c using the data collected by the E787 experiment at BNL. No events were observed. When combined with our previou s search in this region, one candidate event with an expected background of $1.22 pm 0.24$ events results in a 90% C.L. upper limit of $2.2 times 10^{-9}$ on the branching ratio of $K^+ to pi^+ u bar u$. We also report improved limits on the rates of $K^+ to pi^+ X^0$ and $K^+ to pi^+ X^1 X^2$ where $X^0, X^1, X^2$ are hypothetical, massless, long-lived neutral particles.

We have searched for the decay $K^+ to pi^+ u bar u$ in the kinematic region with pion momentum below the $K^+ to pi^+ pi^0$ peak. One event was observed, consistent with the background estimate of $0.73pm 0.18$. This implies an upper limit on $B(K^ + to pi^+ u bar u)< 4.2times 10^{-9}$ (90% C.L.), consistent with the recently measured branching ratio of $(1.57^{+1.75}_{-0.82}) times 10^{-10}$, obtained using the standard model spectrum and the kinematic region above the $K^+ to pi^+ pi^0$ peak. The same data were used to search for $K^+ to pi^+ X^0$, where $X^0$ is a weakly interacting neutral particle or system of particles with $150 < M_{X^0} < 250 {rm ~MeV/c^2}$.
The rare decay $K_L !to! pi^0 u overline{ u}$ was studied with the dataset taken at the J-PARC KOTO experiment in 2016, 2017, and 2018. With a single event sensitivity of $( 7.20 pm 0.05_{rm stat} pm 0.66_{rm syst} ) times 10^{-10}$, three candidate events were observed in the signal region. After unveiling them, contaminations from $K^{pm}$ and scattered $K_L$ decays were studied, and the total number of background events was estimated to be $1.22 pm 0.26$. We conclude that the number of observed events is statistically consistent with the background expectation. For this dataset, we set an upper limit of $4.9 times 10^{-9}$ on the branching fraction of $K_L !to! pi^0 u overline{ u}$ at the 90% confidence level.

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/$c^{2}$.
