Abstract

The decay modes ${K_{1}}^{0} \to μ^{+} μ^{-}$ and ${K_{2}}^{0} \to μ^{+} μ^{-}$ are discussed within the framework of first-order weak combined with fourth-order electromagnetic interactions. The possibility of obtaining lower bounds to the corresponding decay rates is examined, and estimates of the lower bounds are given in a perturbation-theory model. Possible enhancement effects due to strong interactions have been estimated through a simple model of final-state interactions. The assumption of $CP$ invariance is made throughout.
