Forward-backward Asymmetry in K^+toπ^+ ell^+ell^-
read the original abstract
We study the forward-backward asymmetries in the decays of $K^+\to\pi^+\ell^+ \ell^-$ ($\ell=e$ and $\mu$) in the presence of scalar or tensor terms. We find that with the scalar (tensor) type interaction the asymmetry can be up to ${\cal O}(10^{-3})$ (${\cal O}(10^{-1}))$ and arbitrary large for the electron and muon modes, respectively, without conflict with the experimental data. We also discuss the cases in the minimal supersymmetric standard model where the scalar terms can be induced. In particular we show that the asymmetry in $K^+\to\pi^+\mu^+\mu^-$ can be as large as ${\cal O}(10^{-3})$ in the large $\tan\beta$ limit, which can be tested in future experiments such as CKM at Fermilab.

Correlated $b \to s$ and $s \to d$ Rare Semileptonic Transitions in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory
SMEFT global fit to b→s anomalies with complex Wilson coefficients shows left-handed four-fermion operators preferred and demonstrates that U(3)^5 or U(2)^5 flavor symmetry restores consistency with kaon data.
