Abstract
Weakly interacting emission with is out of sight of the current study, but it can be sensed by the search. This evades the usual Grossman-Nir bound of ; thus, the KOTO experiment is already starting to probe new physics. An intriguing possibility is the gauge boson of a weak leptonic force that couples to (the difference between the muon and tauon numbers), which may explain the long-standing “muon ” anomaly, but is constrained by scattering to . An explicit model for is given, which illustrates the link between rare kaon and , decays. Complementary to these searches and future lepton experiments, the LHC might discover the scalar boson responsible for light generation via .
