K+->pi+nunu is one of the theoretically cleanest meson decay where to look for indirect effects of new physics complementary to LHC searches. The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS is designed to measure the branching ratio of this decay with 10% precision. NA62 took data in pilot runs in 2014 and 2015 reaching the final designed beam intensity. The quality of data acquired in view of the final...

The NA48/2 experiment at CERN collected a large sample of charged kaon decays into final states with multiple charged particles in 2003-2004. A new upper limit on the rate of the lepton number violating decay K+- --> pi-+ mu+- mu+- obtained from this sample is reported: 8.6 × 10^−{11} at 90% CL, which improves by more than an order of magnitude upon the previous measurements. Searches for...

The Electron Ion Collider was recently accepted by the US Nuclear Science community as their high priority new facility to be built after the completion of FRIB (currently being built at the Michigan State University). The principle physics program of the EIC is aimed at understanding the role of gluons in QCD: structure and dynamics of partons in nucleons and nuclei. This program can be...

The BESIII Experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) accumulated the world's largest e+e- collision samples at 3.773 and 4.009 GeV. In this talk, we will report the recent results on charm decays, including semi-leptonic decays, determination of CKM elements |Vcs(d)|, Dalitz plot decays of Ksπ+π0，KsK+K-.

Rare electroweak penguin processes provide a rich platform to search for new physics. Some deviations have recently been found between the rate and angular distribution of these processes measured by the LHCb experiment and theoretical predictions. In addition, LHCb has seen hints of lepton universality breaking in these rare processes. This talk will review these measurements and put them in...

Light neutral meson decays provide a unique laboratory to probe fundamental QCD symmetries. A comprehensive Primakoff experimental program at Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) is aimed at gathering high precision measurements on the two-photon decay widths and the transition form factors at low four-momentum transfer squares of pi0, eta and eta’ via the Primakoff effect. Completed experiments on the...
