Abstract

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^± → π^± μ^±μ^± obtained from this sample is reported: B(K^± → π^± μ^±μ^±) < 8.6 × 10^-11 at 90% CL. Searches for two-body resonances in the K^± → π μμ decays (including heavy neutral leptons N₄ and inflatons χ) in the accessible range of masses and lifetimes are also presented. In the absence of a signal, upper limits are set on the products of branching ratios B(K^±→ μ⁺N₄)B(N₄ → πμ) and B(K^±→ π⁺ χ)B(χ → μ⁺μ^-) as functions of the resonance mass and lifetime. These limits are in the 10^-10 - 10^-9 range for resonance lifetimes below 100 ps.
