Rare Kaon Decays K -> pi nu bar(nu) and K_L -> pi0 l+l-
Abstract
Over the next years, the Flavour Physics community will be looking for inconsistencies of the Standard Model (SM) by exploiting new and precise measurements. In these ``indirect new physics'' searches, the key strategy is to concentrate on observables, which are theoretically clean and preferably suppressed in the SM. In this respect, the four golden modes K+->pi+ n n, KL->pi n n and KL->pi0 l+l- are very promising. The pollution from hadronic uncertainties in these decays is at present under control with good accuracy, thanks to the interplay between theory information (Chiral Perturbation Theory and OPE) and experimental inputs (KTeV, NA48). Their measurements might thus give rise to some unexpected scenario. Here, we briefly review the present situation for these four exclusive rare decays.
