We have collected a 43 event sample of the decay $K_L\to e^+e^-\mu^+\mu^-$ with negligible backgrounds and measured its branching ratio to be $(2.62 \pm 0.40 \pm 0.17)\times 10^{-9} $. We see no evidence for CP violation in this decay. In…
A new measurement of the branching fraction for the decay $K_S \rightarrow \pi e \nu$ is presented, based on a sample of 300 million $K_S$ mesons recorded by the KLOE experiment at the DA$\Phi$NE $e^+e^-$ collider. A two-step signal…
The KOTO II experiment is proposed to measure the branching ratio of the decay $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar{\nu}$ at J-PARC. With a beamline to extract long-lived neutral kaons at 5 degrees from a production target, the single event sensitivity of…
The branching fraction for the decay $K_S \to \pi e \nu$ has been measured with a sample of 300 million $K_S$ mesons produced in $\phi \to K_L K_S$ decays recorded by the KLOE experiment at the DA$\Phi$NE $e^+e^-$ collider. Signal decays…

Rare kaon decays are an important testing ground of the electroweak flavor theory: They can provide new signals of CP-violating phenomena. The interplay of long-distance QCD effects in strangeness-changing transitions can be analyzed with…
The decay K- -> pi0 e- nu has been studied using in-flight decays detected with the "ISTRA+" spectrometer working at the 25 GeV negative secondary beam of the U-70 PS. About 550K events were used for the analysis. The lambda+ parameter of…
A precise measurement of the direct CP violating charge asymmetry parameter $A_g$ in $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm\pi^+\pi^-$ decays by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN SPS is presented. The experiment has been designed not to be limited by systematic…
The rare kaon decays $K\to\pi\nu\bar{\nu}$ are strongly suppressed in the standard model and widely regarded as processes in which new phenomena, not predicted by the standard model, may be observed. Recognizing such new phenomena requires…
Experiment E949 at Brookhaven National Laboratory studied the rare decay \$K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ and other processes with an exposure of $1.77\times 10^{12}$ $K^+$'s. The data were analyzed using a blind analysis technique yielding one…
In this article the current status and latest results of the NA48 experiment at CERN are given. We present in more details the analysis performed for the Re(e'/e) measurement with the combined statistics accumulated during the 1998 and 1999…
A decade long search for the rare kaon decay to pi^+nunu-bar has been pursued by E787. Two signal events are observed, giving a measurement of the branching ratio Br(K^+ -> PI^+NUNU-BAR)=1.57^+1.75_-0.82 x 10^-10 and a constraint on the…
Rare decays of K mesons are reviewed from the perspective of testing the ``ones'' and ``zeros'' of the standard model. Decays K^+ -> pi^+ nu anti-nu and K_L -> pi^0 nu anti-nu probe the one-loop effective Hamiltonian for s -> d nu anti-nu,…
A search for the $K^{+}\rightarrow\pi^{+}X$ decay, where $X$ is a long-lived feebly interacting particle, is performed through an interpretation of the $K^{+}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ analysis of data collected in 2017 by the NA62…
Weak decays of charged kaons with an additional lepton-antilepton pair, $K^- \to \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell \ell'^{+} \ell'^{-}$ ($K_{\ell2\ell'}$), are suppressed at order $O(G_{F}^{2}\alpha_{\rm em}^{2})$ in the Standard Model (SM) and provide…
Based on 471 million BB pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- collider, we perform a series of measurements on rare decays B->K(*)l+l-, where l+l- is either e+e- or mu+mu-. The measurements include total branching…

Precise measurements of the branching ratios for the $K\to\pi\nu\bar{\nu}$ decays can provide unique constraints on CKM unitarity and, potentially, evidence for new physics. It is important to measure both decay modes,…
