Abstract: We present a study of K0 SK0 S ( 0 ) and K K0 SK0 S ( 0 ) decays using a dataset of 430 million lepton pairs, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 468 fb 1 , collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric energy e +e storage rings. We measure branching fractions of (2 31 0 04 0 08) 10 4 and (1 60 0 20 0 22) 10 5 for the K0 SK0 S and K0 SK0 S 0 decays, respectively. We nd no evidence for K K0 SK0 S and K K0 SK0 S 0 decays and place upper limits on the branching fractions of 6 3 10 7 and 4 0 10 7 at the 90% confidence level.
