Abstract

The NA48/2 experiment at CERN collected a large sample of charged kaon decays to 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^± is reported: B(K^±→π^∓μ^±μ^±)<8.6×10⁻¹¹ at 90% CL. Searches for two-body resonances X in K^±→πμμ decays (such as heavy neutral leptons N₄ and inflatons χ) are also presented. In the absence of signals, upper limits are set on the products of branching fractions B(K^±→μ^±N₄)B(N₄→πμ) and B(K^±→π^±X)B(X→μ⁺μ⁻) for ranges of assumed resonance masses and lifetimes. The limits are in the (10⁻¹¹,10⁻⁹) range for resonance lifetimes below 100 ps.
