Rare decays were essential in the discovery of the CKM mechanism of flavour and CP violation and are highly sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this summary the current status and future prospects of experimental…
We survey some recent development in the stability theory of klt singularities. The main focus is on the solution of the stable degeneration conjecture.
A brief review of the theoretical status of CP violation in decays of neutral kaons is presented. We focus on three important topics: $\varepsilon$, $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ and $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar\nu$.
The rare kaon decay $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar{\nu}$ is extremely sensitive to new physics, because the contribution to this decay in the Standard Model (SM) is highly suppressed and known very accurately; the branching ratio is $3\times 10^{-11}$…
Current status of experimental investigations of rare single beta decays (48Ca, 50V, 96Zr, 113Cd, 113mCd, 115In, 123Te, 180mTa, 222Rn) is reviewed. Nuclei which decay through single beta decay very often constitute backgrounds in studies of…
This talk reviews recent progress in formulating the dynamics of Kaon Physics, within the framework of the 1/Nc-expansion in QCD.
Proton decay is a hypothetical form of particle decay in which protons are assumed to decay into lighter particles. This form of decay has yet to be detected. In this contribution to the proceedings of Neutrino 2022, we review the current…
Recent results from a rare kaon decay experiment E787 at the BNL-AGS on K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu, K^+ \to \mu^+ \nu \gamma, and K^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^0 \gamma decays are reported.
We introduce and discuss basic topics in the theory of kaons and charmed particles. In the first part, theoretical methods in weak decays such as operator product expansion, renormalization group and the construction of effective…
We have observed 1 event consistent with the signature expected of the rare decay of a positive kaon to a positive pion and a neutrino anti-neutrino pair. In the examined momentum region of 211 to 230 MeV/c in the center of mass of the kaon…
Since nine years experiments have been observing a host of exotic states decaying into heavy quarkonia. The interpretation of most of them still remains uncertain and, in some cases, controversial, notwithstanding a considerable progress…
Rare hadronic B-meson decays allow us to study CP violation. The class of B decays final states containing two vector mesons provides a rich set of angular correlation observables to study. This article reviews some of the recent…
The first search for the rare kaon decay $\kppnn$ has been performed by the E391a collaboration at the KEK 12-GeV proton synchrotron. An upper limit of $4.7\times10^{-5}$ at the 90 % confidence level was set for the branching ratio of the…
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…
The kaons decays to the pairs of charged and neutral pions are considered in the framework of the non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The general expressions for the decay amplitudes to the two different channels accounting for the strong…
Kaon experiments are now focusing on searching for new physics beyond the standard model. For example, CERN NA62, J-PARC KOTO and J-PARC TREK-E36 experiments are starting up to study K->pi nu nu-bar decay modes, a lepton flavor violation,…
In the first year of physics run, the E949 experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory has already collected $1.8\times 10^{12}$ kaons stopping in the target. Additional evidence for the rare charged kaon decay $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$…
This paper is a written version of a talk on rare (FCNC) D meson decays as presented at the Electroweak Moriond 2002. The presentation proceeds in two parts. We first consider Standard Model predictions, taking into account both…
Future kaon decay programs at BNL and FNAL are discussed. The primary focus of these programs is the measurement of the golden modes, the neutral and charged kaon decays to a pion and two neutrinos. The observation of the charged mode by…
We review selected topics in the field of nonleptonic and rare B meson decays. We concentrate in particular on exclusive channels, discussing recent developments based on the concepts of factorization in QCD and the heavy-quark limit.
