A sample of more than one million Ke4 decay candidates with less than one percent background contamination has been collected by the NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS in 2003-2004, allowing a detailed study of the decay properties. The…
We evaluate the effective kaon mass in dense nuclear matter. Pauli blocking and nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations are incorporated. The effects of short-range correlations are shown to be moderate and figure importantly only at…
The $K^+ \to \pi^0 \pi^0 e^+ \nu$ ($K_{e4}^{00}$) decay has been measured with stopped positive kaons for a data sample of 216 events. A comparison of the observed spectra with a Monte Carlo simulation determined the $K_{e4}^{00}$ form…
New measurements of K_L and K_S decays from the NA48 experiment are presented. From data taken in the year 2001, the value of the K_e3 charge asymmetry has been determined to delta_L(e) = (3.317 +- 0.070(stat) +- 0.072 (syst)) x 10^-3. From…
In the standard model, for the t --> W b decay mode, the relative phase is 0-degrees between the dominant A(0,-1/2) and A(-1, -1/2) helicity amplitudes. However, in the case of an additional large t_R --> b_L chiral weak-transition moment,…
We use data collected with the CLEO II detector to perform a high-statistics measurement of the resonant substructure in $D^0 \to K^-\pi^+\pi^0$ decays. We find the Dalitz Plot is well represented by a combination of seven quasi-two-body…
The results of a search for $\pi^0$ decays to a photon and an invisible massive dark photon at the NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS are reported. From a total of $4.12\times10^8$ tagged $\pi^0$ mesons, no signal is observed. Assuming a…
We use effective hadronic field theory to study in-medium properties of the $\phi$ meson. The dominant decay channels $\phi\toK^{+}K^{-}$ and $\phi\to\pi\rho$ are modeled using an SU(3) chiral Lagrangian with normal and abnormal parities.…
The NA62 experiment at CERN aims to make a precision measurement of the ultra-rare decay $K^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+}\nu\overline{\nu}$, and relies on a differential Cherenkov detector (KTAG) to identify charged kaons at an average rate of 50…
The NA62 experiment at CERN has collected a large sample of $K^+$ and $\pi^+$ decays in flight during Run 1 in 2016--2018 and the ongoing Run 2 which started in 2021. Searches for the decays $K^+\rightarrow\pi^+X$ and $\pi^+\rightarrow…
Using the complete KTeV data set of 5241 candidate KL->pi+pi-e+e- decays (including an estimated background of 204+-14 events), we have measured the coupling gCR=0.163+- 0.014(stat)+-0.023(syst) of the CP conserving charge radius process…
The first observation of about 2000 candidates, with a background contamination below 3%, of the rare decay $K^{\pm} \to \pi^{\pm}\pi^{0}e^+e^-$ is reported by the NA48/2 experiment. The preliminary branching ratio in the full kinematic…
Measuring the rate at which the long-lived, neutral kaon decays into a neutral pion, neutrino, and anti-neutrino allows physicists an opportunity to test precise predictions made by the Standard Model. Differences between theoretical…
A short overview of theoretical predictions for various kaon decays is presented. Particular attention is devoted to pure and radiative nonleptonic decays in the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory. The relevance of KLOE's future…
I review a recent analytic method for computing matrix elements of electroweak operators based on the large-Nc expansion. In particular, I give a rather detailed description of the matching of the quark Lagrangian onto the meson chiral…
The ratio of the leptonic charged kaon decays $R_K= \Gamma(K^{\pm} \to e^{\pm}\nu) / \Gamma(K^{\pm} \to \mu^{\pm}\nu)$ is sensitive to the structure of the week interactions and can be precisely calculated within the Standard Model.…
The NA48/2 experiment at the CERN SPS has collected an unprecedented sample of $K^\pm\to3\pi$ decays. The high statistics and the good resolution of the detectors allow a unique investigation of the detailed phase space distributions 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…
An improved update of the structure and decays of $\rho^0$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ mesons based on a chiral SU(3) Lagrangian, including anomaly terms is presented. We demonstrate that a consistent and quantitatively successful description of…
Motivated by recent experimental results and ongoing measurements, we review the chiral perturbation theory prediction for radiative Ke3 decays (neutral kaons). Special emphasis is given on the stability of the inner…
