This presentation reports on the first experimental search for the decay Klong to $pi^0 pi^0 mu^+ mu^-$ based on data collected by the KTeV experiment. Although this decay mode is possible within the standard model, its rate is phase space suppressed. The HyperCP experiment has recently observed 3 $Sigma^+ to p mu^+ mu^-$ events within a narrow di-muon mass range, suggesting that the process may occur via a new neutral state: $Sigma^+ to p X^0, X^0 tomu^+ mu^-$ with $m(X^0) = 214.3mev$. The $X^0$ would create an $s$- to $d$- quark transition at a rate that would cause Klong to $pi^0 pi^0 X, ^0 tomu^+ mu^-$ to occur at rates considerably over the standard model expectation. Our preliminary results significantly constrain this possibility.

The decay K- -> pi0 mu- nu has been studied using in-flight decays detected with the ISTRA+ spectrometer. About 540K events were collected for the analysis. The lambda+ and lambda0 slope parameters of the decay form-factors f+(t), f0(t) have been mea sured : lambda+ = 0.0277+-0.0013 (stat)+-0.0009 (syst), lambda0 = 0.0183+-0.0011(stat)+-0.0006(syst), and d(lambda0)/d(lambda+)=-0.348. The limits on the possible tensor and scalar couplings have been derived: fT/f+(0)=-0.0007 +- 0.0071, fS/f+(0)=0.0017 +- 0.0014. No visible non-linearity in the form-factors have been observed.
The decay $K^{-} to mu^{-} bar{ u} pi^{0}$ has been studied using in-flight decays detected with ``ISTRA+ setup operating in the 25 GeV negative secondary beam of the U-70 PS. About 112K events were used for the analysis. The $lambda_{+}$ and $lambda _{0}$ slope parameters of the decay formfactors $f_{+}(t)$, $f_{0}(t)$ have been measured : $lambda_{+}= 0.0321 pm 0.004$(stat) $pm 0.002$(syst) $lambda_{0}= 0.0209 pm 0.004$(stat) $pm 0.002$(syst); the correlation $d lambda_{0}/d lambda_{+}=-0.46$ The limits on the possible tensor and scalar couplings have been derived: $f_{T}/f_{+}(0)=-0.021 pm 0.028$(stat) $pm 0.014$(theory); $f_{S}/f_{+}(0)=0.004 pm 0.005$(stat) $pm 0.005$(theory)
Searches are performed for both prompt-like and long-lived dark photons, $A$, produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. These searches look for $A!to!mu^+mu^-$ decays using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.5/fb collected with the LHCb detector. Neither search finds evidence for a signal, and 90% confidence-level exclusion limits are placed on the $gamma$-$A$ kinetic-mixing strength. The prompt-like $A$ search explores the mass region from near the dimuon threshold up to 70 GeV, and places the most stringent constraints to date on dark photons with $214 < m(A) lesssim 740$ MeV and $10.6 < m(A) lesssim 30$ GeV. The search for long-lived $A!to!mu^+mu^-$ decays places world-leading constraints on low-mass dark photons with lifetimes $mathcal{O}(1)$ ps.
A search for non-resonant D+(s) to pi+mu+mu- and D+(s) to pi-mu+mu+ decays is performed using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb-1, at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV recorded by the LHCb experiment in 2011. No signals are observed and the 90% (95%) confidence level (CL) limits on the branching fractions are B(D+ to pi+mu+mu-) < 7.3 (8.3) x 10-8, B(Ds+ to pi+mu+mu-) < 4.1 (4.8) x 10-7, B(D+ to pi-mu+mu+) < 2.2 (2.5) x 10-8, B(Ds+ to pi-mu+mu+) < 1.2 (1.4) x 10-7. These limits are the most stringent to date.
A search for the lepton flavour violating decay $tau^-to mu^-mu^+mu^-$ is performed with the LHCb experiment. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $1.0mathrm{,fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $ 7mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$ and $2.0mathrm{,fb}^{-1}$ at $8mathrm{,Tekern -0.1em V}$. No evidence is found for a signal, and a limit is set at $90%$ confidence level on the branching fraction, $mathcal{B}(tau^-to mu^-mu^+mu^-) < 4.6 times 10^{-8}$.
