Description
We introduce and investigate the effects of a light scalar interacting with the
short-lived kaon and the KS → μ+μ− decay. We use the results of searches performed at
kaon factories as well as the Standard Model predictions for this decay to constrain the
couplings of a ϕ particle with a mass mϕ of the order of MeV. In addition to this we find
the allowed parameter space for further CP violating effects in this decay mode as well as
to one loop order. We also examine the time evolution of the kaon beams with the full
mixing considered and the effect of its lifetime on extractable experimental parameters.
