We present the result of a direct search for the decay K_S -> e+e-, obtained with a sample of e+e- -> phi -> K_S K_L events produced at DAFNE, the Frascati phi-factory, for an integrated luminosity of 1.9 fb^-1. The search has been performed using a pure K_S beam tagged by the simultaneous detection of a K_L interaction in the calorimeter. Background rejection has been optimized by using both kinematic and particle identification cuts. We find BR(K_S -> e+e-) < 9x10^-9 at 90% CL, which improves by an order of magnitude on the previous best limit.

  1. Constraints on scalar leptoquarks from lepton and kaon physics

    hep-ph 2019-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Scalar leptoquark couplings are constrained by a comprehensive set of upper bounds from tau, muon, electron, and kaon decay data, including standard model interference in rare K to pi l+ l- modes.

  2. Flavor Constraints in a Generational Three Higgs Doublet Model

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A generational three-Higgs-doublet model is constructed, and flavor constraints show that its additional Higgs bosons can be as light as about 1.5 TeV if the only flavor violation is the minimal amount needed to repro...
