Description
We point out novel kaon and pion decays to several leptons pairs that can probe states beyond the Standard Model at the MeV scale. In particular, modes like K → π 2(e+e-) have never been measured or considered before and could be used to search for MeV axions, as well as multi-component dark sectors. In particular, the ``17 MeV QCD axion" is robustly tested with these signatures, as it predicts a branching ratio for π0 → 3(e+e-) at the level of 0.1%, much above the double-Dalitz mode.
