Theoretical overview of kaon decays

Understand

Kaon decays are an important testing ground of the electroweak flavour theory.

• They can provide new signals of CP violation and, perhaps, a window into physics beyond the Standard Model.
• At the same time, they exhibit an interesting interplay of long-distance QCD effects in flavour-changing transitions.
• A brief overview is presented, focusing on a few selected topics of particular interest.
