We consider for the first time the leading large top mass corrections, arising at higher order in electroweak interactions, to the rare decays $K\to\pi\nu\bar\nu$ and the related modes $B\to X_s\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to l^+l^-$. Higher order…

The electroweak symmetry may be broken by a composite Higgs which arises naturally as a bound state of the top quark if the standard model gauge fields and fermions propagate in extra dimenions. The top quark mass and the Higgs mass can be…
