Abstract Kaon physics is at a turning point – while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, end of their lifetime approaching future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II LHCb-Phase-II on table under scrutiny, it very good moment time take stock contemplate about opportunities these theoretical developments provide for particle coming decade beyond. This paper provides compact summary talks discussions from Kaons@CERN 2023 workshop, held September CERN.

The NA48/2 experiment at CERN collected a large sample of charged kaon decays to final states with multiple particles in 2003–2004. A new upper limit on the rate lepton number violating decay K±→π∓μ±μ± is reported: B(K±→π∓μ±μ±)<8.6×10−11 90% CL. Searches for two-body resonances X K±→πμμ (such as heavy neutral leptons N4 and inflatons χ) are also presented. In absence signals, limits set products branching fractions B(K±→μ±N4)B(N4→πμ) B(K±→π±X)B(X→μ+μ−) ranges assumed resonance masses...

The NA48/2 experiment at CERN collected a large sample of charged kaon decays into final states with multiple particles in 2003--2004. A new upper limit on the rate lepton number violating decay $K^{\pm} \to \pi^{\mp} \mu^{\pm} \mu^{\pm}$ obtained from this is reported: $\mathcal{B}(K^{\pm} \mu^{\pm})<8.6 \times 10^{-11}$ 90\% CL. Searches for two-body resonances \pi\mu\mu$ (including heavy neutral leptons~$N_4$ and inflatons~$\chi$) accessible range masses lifetimes are also presented. In...
