Rare Kaon Decay Experiments
The status of rare kaon decay experiments is reviewed. With the current
generation of experiments now finishing, several exciting new results are
available. New limits in the search for Lepton Flavor Violation (LFV) will be
discussed, as will new limits and measurements of the CKM matrix parameters.
The next generation of rare kaon decay experiments and their contribution to
determination of CKM parameters will also be discussed.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX, to be published in the Proceedings of the
Workshop on Strange Quarks in Hadrons, Nuclei, and Nuclear Matter; Athens,

Measurement of B(K -> pnn)
The experimental measurement of positive kaons decaying to a positive pion
and a neutrino, anti-neutrino pair (pnn) is reviewed. Recent results from
experiment E787 at BNL are presented: with data from 1995--97 the branching
ratio has been measured to be B(pnn) = (1.5^{+3.4}_{-1.2}) \times10^{-10}. The
future prospects for additional data in this mode are examined.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX, invited talk at the 7th Conference on the

Eperimental Results on Radiative Kaon Decays
This paper reviews the current status of experimental measurements of
radiative kaon decays. Several experiments at BNL, CERN and FNAL have recently
or will soon complete data collection; as a result, several new results are
available.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX, presented at the 3rd Workshop on Physics
and Detectors for Dafne, Frascati, Italy, November 16-19, 199
Future Kaon Programs at BNL and FNAL
Future kaon decay programs at BNL and FNAL are discussed. The primary focus
of these programs is the measurement of the golden modes, the neutral and
charged kaon decays to a pion and two neutrinos. The observation of the charged
mode by E787 at BNL is the first step in a series of measurements which will
completely determine the unitarity triangle within the kaon system.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX, invited talk at the 7th Conference on the

Rare and forbidden kaon decays at the AGS
An overview of the Rare Kaon Decay program at the AGS is presented, with particular emphasis on the three major experiments currently running and analyzing data. A brief overview of earlier kaon decay experiments and of the AGs performance improvements is also provided. This review concludes with a discussion of proposed and developing experiments planned to run in the year 2000 and beyond (AGS-2000)
