Description

Rare and symmetry-constrained decays of η, η′ mesons offer a flavor-conserving window into BSM physics that is complementary to other searches. Potential signatures include new light particles such as hidden photons or photon-like bosons, light Higgs bosons, or axion-like particles that mimic rare SM decays. In this talk, I will present theoretical models and motivations, as well as experimental prospects, for BSM searches at current and future η, η′ factories (and beyond).
