Abstract

In this short presentation I emphasize the increased importance of kaon flavour physics in the search for new physics (NP) that we should witness in the rest of this decade and in the next decade. The main actors will be the branching ratios for the rare decays K+π+ννˉK^+\rightarrow\pi^+\nu\bar\nu and KLπ0ννˉK_{L}\rightarrow\pi^0\nu\bar\nu, to be measured by NA62 and KOTO, and their correlations with the ratio ε/ε\varepsilon'/\varepsilon on which recently progress by lattice QCD and large NN dual QCD approach has been made implying a new flavour anomaly. Further correlations of K+π+ννˉK^+\rightarrow\pi^+\nu\bar\nu, KLπ0ννˉK_{L}\rightarrow\pi^0\nu\bar\nu and ε/ε\varepsilon'/\varepsilon with εK\varepsilon_K, ΔMK\Delta M_K, KLμ+μK_L\to\mu^+\mu^- and KLπ0+K_L\to\pi^0\ell^+\ell^- will help us to identify indirectly possible NP at short distance scales. This talk summarizes the present highlights of this fascinating field including some results from concrete NP scenarios.
