The rare decays $\mathrm{K}^+\to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ and $\mathrm{K_L}\to \pi^0 \nu \bar{\nu}$ are extremely attractive processes to study flavor physics because they are both exceptionally clean from a theoretical point of view. These…
Meson decays offer a good opportunity to probe new physics. The rare kaon decay $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu\bar{\nu}$ is one of the cleanest of them and, for this reason, is rather sensitive to new physics, in particular, vector mediators.…
Recent results from the NA48/1 and NA48/2 experiments at the CERN SPS are presented. NA48/2 carried out data taking in 2003 and 2004 collecting charged kaon decays: branching ratios and form factors have been measured for the rare K+- to…
The branching ratio for the decay $K^+ \to \pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ is sensitive to new physics; the NA62 experiment will measure it to within about 10%. To reject the dominant background from channels with final state photons, the large-angle…
Soon the NA62 experiment will start looking for the rare K+ ---> pi+ nu nu bar decay. In this talk, its theoretical interests, together with those of the neutral rare decays KL ---> pi0 nu nu bar, KL ---> pi0 e+ e-, and KL ---> pi0 mu+ mu-,…
A sample of 7253 $K^\pm\to\pi^\pm e^+e^-$ decay candidates with 1.0% background contamination has been collected by the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS, which allowed a precise measurement of the form factor, the branching ratio, and the…
