We study the decays $K\to\pi\pi$ in one-loop two-flavour Chiral Perturbation Theory. We provide arguments why the calculation of the coefficient of the pionic chiral logarithm $\logm = M^2\log M^2$ is unique and then perform the…
Using the analysis of ChPT to two loops, we perform an error analysis of the threshold and low energy parameters, based on the uncertainties for the one loop low energy parameters and the resonance saturation mechanism. Different sets of…

$K_{\ell4}$ decays offer several reasons of interest: they allow an accurate measurement of $\pi\pi$-scattering lengths; they provide the best source for the determination of some low-energy constants of ChPT; one form factor is directly…
