Question
Given the last LHC results on New Physics searches and on the Higgs, can the K BR measurement still be considered a “golden mode” for new physics discovery ?

LHC results and New Physics ScenariosExperimental results/assumptions:
Flavour structure in agreement with SM predictions (B-factories).
SUSY not observed directly at LHC up to now.
Higgs observed at LHC and MH = 125 GeV/c2 (assumption).
Theoretical assumption:New Physics has a Supersymmetric structure.
Theoretical consequences:SUSY MFV unlike.
SUSY high tan scenarios ruled out.
Most probable scenario “Natural SUSY”: heavy not light light (no significant constraint from direct SUSY searches at LHC up to now).

Possible Effects of New Physics Where to look for effects of New Physics:
Physics processes sensitive to effects.Reminder: the can contribute to SM level via loops only.Z-loop among the best places, complementary to direct search (couplings vs masses).
Physics processes:FCNC decays (theoretical clean): Bs , K .
Direct production of
FCNC processes:Sensitivity to non-MFV structures of the A-terms (LR mixing) of the up-squarks mass matrices.Expected effects: 20-30% max, both on Bs , K (highly correlated).
<10% precision of the SM BR required for both the channels (LHC on Bs ?)
Direct production: via gluino (production via gluon has too small BR and too high irreducible background from concurrent tt production).High energy required (LHC 14 TeV ?)

Conclusions
The recent LHC results point towards a scenario where the K is one of the few places where new physics can give measurable effects (if new physics is SUSY…)
Our direct competitors:LHCb: Bs at 10% precision
LHC @ 14 TeV: direct stop search.

Dangerous configuration: one + in the straw acceptance, the other + and the in the beam hole.
Countermeasure: the distance between MNP33 and chamber 4 allows up to 60 GeV/c to enter in the acceptance of the detectors downstream.
Possible flaws: decays and the is lost interacts hadronically.
