$\mathrm{\Delta }S=2$ nonleptonic hyperon decays as probes of new physics

Hyperon nonleptonic decays that change strangeness by two units, such as $\mathrm{\Xi }\to N\pi$ and ${\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-}\to n{K}^{-},\mathrm{\Lambda }{\pi }^{-},{\mathrm{\Sigma }}^{(\ast )}\pi$, are highly suppressed in the standard model. Only a few of them have been searched for to date, leading to experimental upper bounds which are many orders of magnitude above the expectations of the standard model. This leaves ample opportunity to look for indications of new physics in these processes. At the same time, most, but not all, $\mathrm{\Delta }S=2$ interactions beyond the standard model are severely constrained by kaon-mixing data. We present two scenarios where new physics satisfying the kaon-mixing constraints can enhance the hyperon decay rates to levels that can be probed in future quests by BESIII and LHCb and at the proposed Super Tau-Charm Factory. Both scenarios require significant fine-tuning.
