    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, Ohio, May 12-13, 200

    Measurement of B(K -> pnn)

    Full text link
    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 Intersections of Particle and Nuclear Physics; Quebec City, Canada, May 22-28, 200

    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

    Full text link
    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 Intersections of Particle and Nuclear Physics; Quebec City, Canada, May 22-28, 200
