Kaon Portal to Freeze-in Dark Matter

The episode discusses a paper titled "Kaon Portal to Freeze-in Dark Matter," which investigates light dark matter production via freeze-in cosmology linked to rare kaon decays. The hosts explain how a specific interaction governs both the dark matter relic density and kaon decay rates, showing that low reheating temperatures make this mechanism testable by experiments like NA62 and KOTO.
