A short review of recent results and future prospects in kaon physics is presented. Recent measurements performed at the NA48, NA62, KLOE and KTeV experiments on CP and Lepton Flavour violation and rare decays will be summarised, together…
In the last few years a significant progress in the kaon physics has been made by three experiments - KLOE, KTeV and NA48. The reflection of their results to the extraction of the parameter Vus of the CKM matrix is presented. The obtained…
The first observations of the rare decays KS->pi0e+e- and KS->pi0mu+mu- have been made by the NA48/1 collaboration at the CERN SPS accelerator. From high intensity KS data collected during the 2002 run, clean signals of 7 KS->pi0e+e- events…
Rare Kaon decays provide sensitive probes of short distance physics. Among the most promising modes are the K+ --> pi+ nu anti-nu and K(L) --> pi0 nu anti-nu modes due to their theoretical cleanness and the dedicated experiments, NA62 and…
The present status of Kaon physics is summarized from a theory point of view. Focus is laid on $\Delta S=2$, $\Delta S=1$ as well as on rare Kaon decays, where progress has been made for instance in the case of $\varepsilon_K$ and $K_S\to…

Rare Kaon decays and CP violation are important tools to test the Standard Model and its extensions. We describe kaon physics observables testing CP violation and more generally short distance physics. Channels under consideration will be K…
Recent results by the NA48 collaboration on neutral kaons rare decays into the pi+ pi- e+ e- final state are presented. A large CP-violating asymmetry A(K_L)=(13.9+-2.7+-2.0)% has been observed in the K_L to pi+ pi- e+ e- decay. The K_S to…
