The $\phi \to K^+K^-,K^{0}_{L},K^{0}_{S},K^{0}\bar K^0$ decays are studied using the method of phenomenological chiral Lagrangians. Calculated values for partial widths for these decay channels are compared with available experimental data.

It is proposed to compute matrix elements for the (unphysical) $K^0\pi^-\to \pi^-$ transition to determine the next-to-leading order low energy constants of the weak chiral Lagrangian. This allows us to evaluate $K\to(\pi\pi)_{I=0}$ decay…
