Abstract

We study the long distance contribution to K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu by using chiral perturbation theory. We find that the tree level O(P2)O(P^2) contribution vanishes identically without assuming the large NcN_c limit. The leading contribution arises from the one-loop amplitude, which is O(P4)O(P^4) in the chiral power counting. The branching ratio of the long distance contribution is found to be of order 10710^{-7} smaller compared with that of short distance one and hence is completely negligible.
