abstract
We analyze the New Physics sensitivity of a recently proposed method to measure the CP-violating ${\cal B}(K_S\to\mu^+\mu^-)_{\ell=0}$ decay rate using $K_S - K_L$ interference. We present our findings both in a model-independent EFT approach as well as within several simple NP scenarios. We discuss the relation with associated observables, most notably ${\cal B}(K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu)$. We find that simple NP models can significantly enhance ${\cal B}(K_S\to\mu^+\mu^-)_{\ell=0}$, making this mode a very promising probe of physics beyond the standard model in the kaon sector.

Natural complex plane for kaon CKM data: framework, status and future
The natural complex plane for kaon CKM constraints is spanned by A^2(1-ρ̂) and A^2η̂; current data allow four islands, and future measurements will reduce them to one or expose new physics.
