Flavor Physics in Kaon Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
Kaon physics has a glorious history. Parity violation, CP violation, GIM mechanism, CKM mechanism, Determination of Standard Model (SM) parameters, Hadronic physics all have imprints of kaon physics. Kaon physics still plays an important role in particle physics. Some of the main interests today in kaon physics are: The studies of CP violation and rare decays; Determination of SM parameters; Low energy tests of QCD, lattice QCD and low energy effective theories; New physics beyond the SM. There are also many studies of tests of quantum mechanics and CPT symmetry in kaon decays. Some of the related work has been reported at this conference[1]. Since FPCP04 is a flavor and CP conference, I will mainly discuss flavor physics in kaon decays with emphases on: ǫK and ǫ ′ K/ǫK and related hadronic parameters; Rare kaon decays and the CKM parameters; And rare kaon decays and new physics beyond the SM. In the SM, flavor changing neutral current and CP violating phenomena are all related to the CKM matrix in the charged current interaction of the W-boson with quarks,

Overview of Kaon Physics
In this overview, I discuss some of the open issues in Kaon physics. After briefly touching on lattice calculations of Kaon dynamics and tests of CPT, my main focus of attention is on ǫ ′ /ǫ and on constraints on the CKM model. The impact of rare K-decays and of experiments with B-mesons for addressing the issue of CP-violation is also discussed. The importance of looking for signals of flavor-...

متن کاملSUSY effects in Kaon physics: Lepton Universality tests and rare decays
Deviations from the Standard Model (SM) expectations of the Lepton Universality (LU) breaking represent a powerful tool to probe New Physics (NP) effects. In the present document, we focus on R K = Γ(K e2)/Γ(K µ2), stressing the importance of R K measurements with an accuracy at the % level to probe lepton-flavor violating effects arising in Supersymmetric (SUSY) theories. Finally, we also revi...
متن کاملIs it still worth searching for lepton flavor violation in rare kaon decays ? ∗
Prospective searches for lepton flavor violation (LFV) in rare kaon decays at the existing and future intermediate-energy accelerators are considered. The proposed studies are complementary to LFV searches in muon-decay experiments and offer a unique opportunity to probe models with approximately conserved fermion-generation quantum number with sensitivity superior to that in other processes. C...
متن کاملFlavor Violating Decays – Review
Here I review the status and prospects of experimental investigations into lepton flavor violation (LFV) in charged leptons. Rare LFV processes are naturally expected to occur through loops of TeV scale particles predicted by supersymmetric theories or other models beyond the Standard Model. In contrast to physics of quark flavors that is dominated by the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, LFV i...
