A rare decay $K_L to mu^+ mu^- $ has been measured precisely, while a rare decay $K_S to mu^+ mu^- $ will be observed by an upgrade of the LHCb experiment. Although both processes are almost CP-conserving decays, we point out that an interference contribution between $K_L$ and $K_S$ in the kaon beam emerges from a genuine direct CP violation. It is found that the interference contribution can change $K_S to mu^+ mu^-$ standard-model predictions at $mathcal{O}(60%)$. We also stress that an unknown sign of $mathcal{A}(K_L to gamma gamma)$ can be determined by a measurement of the interference, which can much reduce a theoretical uncertainty of $mathcal{B}(K_L to mu^+ mu^-)$. We also investigate the interference in a new physics model, where the $epsilon_K / epsilon_K$ tension is explained by an additional $Z$-penguin contribution.

A method to directly determine the Wilson coefficients for rare $bto s$ transitions using $B^0to K^{*0}mu^+mu^-$ decays in an unbinned maximum likelihood fit is presented. The method has several advantages compared to the conventional determination o f the Wilson coefficients from angular observables that are determined in bins of $q^2$, the square of the mass of the dimuon system. The method uses all experimental information in an optimal way and automatically accounts for experimental correlations. Performing pseudoexperiments, we show the improved sensitivity of the proposed method for the Wilson coefficients. We also demonstrate that it will be possible to use the method with the combined Run 1 and 2 data sample taken by the LHCb experiment.
We perform an analysis within the Standard Model of $B^{0,+} to K^{*0,+} mu^+ mu^-$ decays in light of the recent measurements from the LHCb experiment, showing that new data strengthen the need for sizable hadronic contributions and correlations amo ng them. We then extend our analysis to New Physics via the Standard Model Effective Theory, and carry out a state-of-the-art fit of available $b to s ell^+ ell^-$ data, including possible hadronic contributions. We find the case of a fully left-handed operator standing out as the simplest scenario with a significance of almost $6sigma$.
We investigate the possibility of indirectly constraining the $B^{+}to K^{+}tau^+tau^-$ decay rate using precise data on the $B^{+}to K^{+}mu^+mu^-$ dimuon spectrum. To this end, we estimate the distortion of the spectrum induced by the $B^{+}to K^{+ }tau^+tau^-to K^{+} mu^+mu^-$ re-scattering process, and propose a method to simultaneously constrain this (non-standard) contribution and the long-distance effects associated to hadronic intermediate states. The latter are constrained using the analytic properties of the amplitude combined with data and perturbative calculations. Finally, we estimate the sensitivity expected at the LHCb experiment with present and future datasets. We find that constraints on the branching fraction of $O(10^{-3})$, competitive with current direct bounds, can be achieved with the current dataset, while bounds of $O(10^{-4})$ could be obtained with the LHCb upgrade-II luminosity.
The recent measurement of $R_{K^*}$ is yet another hint of new physics (NP), and supports the idea that it is present in $bto smu^+mu^-$ decays. We perform a combined model-independent and model-dependent analysis in order to deduce properties of thi s NP. Like others, we find that the NP must obey one of two scenarios: (I) $C_9^{mumu}({rm NP}) < 0$ or (II) $C_9^{mumu}({rm NP}) = - C_{10}^{mumu}({rm NP}) < 0$. A third scenario, (III) $C_9^{mumu}({rm NP}) = - C_{9}^{prime mumu}({rm NP})$, is rejected largely because it predicts $R_K = 1$, in disagreement with experiment. The simplest NP models involve the tree-level exchange of a leptoquark (LQ) or a $Z$ boson. We show that scenario (II) can arise in LQ or $Z$ models, but scenario (I) is only possible with a $Z$. Fits to $Z$ models must take into account the additional constraints from $B^0_s$-${bar B}^0_s$ mixing and neutrino trident production. Although the LQs must be heavy, O(TeV), we find that the $Z$ can be light, e.g., $M_{Z} = 10$ GeV or 200 MeV.
In this paper we study the direct CP asymmetry of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay mode $D^0 to K^+ pi^- $ within standard model and two Higgs doublet model with generic Yukawa structure. In the standard model we derive the corrections to the tree level amplitude, generated from the box and di-penguin diagrams, required for generating the weak CP violating phases. We show that these phases are so tiny leading to a direct CP asymmetry of order $10^{-9}$. Regarding the two Higgs doublet model with generic Yukawa structure we derive the Wilson coefficients relevant to $D^0 to K^+ pi^- $. After taking into account all constraints on the parameter space of the model we show that charged Higgs couplings to quarks can lead to a direct CP asymmetry of order $10^{-3}$ which is $6$ orders of magnitude larger than the standard model prediction.
