Long-distance effects in rare and radiative K decays
نویسنده
چکیده
The electroweak structures of the FCNC-induced rare and radiative K decays are presented. While the former decays are sensitive to short-distance physics and offer exceptional probes for new physics, the latter are dominated by long-distance physics. Even so, they should not be set aside since they constitute essential ingredients to control the hadronic uncertainties occurring for the rare decays. This is illustrated by systematically reviewing the phenomenological strategies currently in use to cleanly predict the rare K decay rates in the Standard Model.

Infnna-iv-2000/4 Radiative Rare Kaon Decays
We review some recent theoretical results on radiative rare kaon decays. Particular attention is devoted to the channels K → πll and K → ππγ, where we are (or might be) able to extract the short distance contributions. This is achieved by a careful study of the long distance part. We study also CP violating observables, which are sensitive also to extensions of the SM. As byproduct, we discuss ...
متن کاملLong - distance effects in B → V γ radiative weak decays
A systematic approach to long-distance effects in exclusive radiative weak B decays is presented, based on a combination of the heavy quark limit with perturbative QCD. The dominant long-distance effects, connected with weak annihilation and W-exchange topologies, can be computed in a model-independent way using experimental data on B radiative leptonic decays. Nonfactorizable corrections vanis...
متن کاملShort and Long Distance Effects in the Decay ! ()
We calculate the radiative corrections to the decays ! M and ! l l , where the meson M is M = or K and the lepton l is l = e or. We perform a complete calculation, which includes internal bremsstrahlung and structure dependent radiation in the radiative decays and point meson, hadronic structure dependent and short distance contributions in the virtual corrections.

We review the status of theory and experiment of very rare and forbidden kaon decays. We then review the radiative non-leptonic decays, and the associated Dalitz pair modes. We pay particular attention to the study of long distance physics in radiative decays within the framework of chiral perturbation theory (χPT). We discuss the experiments that will run in the near future and the modes that ...
متن کاملEnergy Scale Fields Effective
Rare K decays are an important testing ground of the electroweak flavour theory. They can provide new signals of CP–violation phenomena and, perhaps, a window into physics beyond the Standard Model. The interplay of long–distance QCD effects in strangeness–changing transitions can be analyzed with Chiral Perturbation Theory techniques. Some theoretical predictions obtained within this framework...
