We present a search for the rare decays B+ -> K+ nu nubar and B0 -> K0 nu nubar using 459 million BBbar pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Flavor-changing neutral-current decays such as…
We search for the rare flavor-changing neutral-current decay $B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ in a data sample of 82 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the {\sl BABAR} detector at the PEP-II B-factory. Signal events are selected by examining the…
We will present the most recent results from the BABAR Collaboration concerning New Physics searches in rare B and Lepton Flavour Violating (LFV) decays, including b --> s transitions, purely leptonic B decays and LFV tau decays.
The exclusive decay mode B ->K*ll has become one of the key players in the search for New Physics in flavor. An increasing number of observables are being studied experimentally, and with increasing precision. Its theoretical description is…
I review lattice quantum chromodynamics as relevant to the kaon system. Topics covered include the pseudoscalar masses and decay constants, the chiral effective lagrangian, $f_K/f_\pi$, semi-leptonic kaon decay form factors, and the neutral…
Recent results on rare kaon decays are reviewed and prospects for future experiments are discussed.
The KTeV/E799 experiment at Fermilab has searched for the rare kaon decay KL--> pi0ee. This mode is expected to have a significant CP violating component. The measurement of its branching ratio could support the Standard Model or could…
Rare K decays are an important testing ground of the electroweak flavour theory. They can provide new signals of CP-violation phenomena and, perhaps, a window into physics beyond the Standard Model. The interplay of long-distance QCD…
The dominant MSSM effects in the rare K decays, K+ --> pi+ nu nu bar, KL --> pi0 nu nu bar, KL --> pi0 e+ e- and KL --> pi0 mu+ mu-, are discussed both within and without the minimal flavor violation hypothesis, at moderate and large…
Recent results are presented for (1) the charge asymmetry in semielectronic kaon decay; (2) the charge radius of the neutral kaon; (3) the decay Klong -> pi0 pi0 e+e-; (4) constraints on rho(CKM) from kaon decays; (5) lepton flavor…

We discuss radiative transitions of a charged kaon to a pion and two photons. In particular, we have a closer look at radiative corrections for the $K^+\to\pi^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decays and present the branching ratio of the…

We survey the open problems in low--energy $KN$ physics, in the perspective of using the new machines presently planned, such as the $\phi$--factory DA$\Phi$NE at I.N.F.N. Nat. Labs. in Frascati (as a source of {\sl tagged}, low--energy…
A brief overview of the recent measurements of the branching ratio of the rare $K_L^0 \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay in the context of their agreement with the Standard Model (SM) is given. It is shown that KEK result well correlates with the SM…
The exclusive (B -> K_2 l^+ l^-) decay is studied using the most general, model independent four-fermion interaction. The sensitivity of the ratio of the decay widths when K_2 meson is longitudinally and transversally polarized, the…
In this talk, we present our recent work on the $K\ra\pi \bar{l} l$ decays in a combined framework of chiral perturbation theory and Large--$N_c$ QCD under the dominance of a minimal narrow resonance structure. The proposed description…
We discuss issues in rare and radiative kaon decays. The interest is to extract useful short-distance information and uncover underlying dynamics. We emphasize channels where either we can understand non-perturbative aspects of QCD or there…
We present a search for the decays B+ -> mu+ nu_mu and B+ -> e+ nu_e in a 253 fb-1 data sample collected at the \Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy B factory. We find no significant evidence for a…
We show that long distance contributions to the rare decays K -> pi nu nu-bar and K -> pi l+ l- can be computed using lattice QCD. The proposed approach requires well established methods, successfully applied in the calculations of…
