Abstract The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS reports a study of a sample of 4 × 109 tagged π0 mesons from K+ → π+π0(γ), searching for the decay of the π0 to invisible particles. No signal is observed in excess of the expected background fluctuations. An upper limit of 4.4 × 10−9 is set on the branching ratio at 90% confidence level, improving on previous results by a factor of 60. This result can also be interpreted as a model- independent upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay K+ → π+X, where X is a particle escaping detection with mass in the range 0.110–0.155 GeV/c2 and rest lifetime greater than 100 ps. Model-dependent upper limits are obtained assuming X to be an axion-like particle with dominant fermion couplings or a dark scalar mixing with the Standard Model Higgs boson.

The MEG experiment started taking data in 2009 looking for the Standard Model suppressed decay μ → e + γ, which, if observed, can reveal Beyond Standard Model physics. It makes use of state-of-the art detectors optimized for operating in conditions of very high intensity, rejecting as much background as possible. The data taking ended August 2013 and an upgrade R&D is started to push the experimental sensitivity. The present upper limit on the decay Branching Ratio (BR) is presented, obtained with the subset of data from 2009 to 2011 run, together with a description of the key features of the upgraded detector.

We carried out a model independent search for an exotic three-body decay of orthopositronium o-Ps [Formula: see text] γ + X1 + X2 into a photon and two weak interacting particles X1 and X2. The existence of this decay could explain the discrepancy between the measured and the predicted values of the orthopositronium-decay rate in vacuum. Our result excludes this decay mode as the origin of the discrepancy and an upper limit on the branching ratio has been set B(o-Ps [Formula: see text] γ + X1 + X2) < 4.4 x 10–5 (at the 90% confidence level), for the photon energy in the range from 40 < Eγ < 400 keV and for the weak interacting particles X mass range 0 [Formula: see text] mX1 + mX2 [Formula: see text] 900 keV.

Based on results of a search for the lepton-family-number-violating decay K+ → π+μ+e- with data collected by experiment E865 in 1998 at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron of Brookhaven National Laboratory we report an upper limit on the branching ratio at 2.2 × 10-11 (90% C.L.). In combination with results based on the data collected in 1995, 1996, and a previous experiment, E777, an upper limit on the branching ratio of 1.2 × 10-11 (90% C.L.) is obtained.
