The estimation of rare K decay matrix-elements from Kl3 experimental data is extended beyond LO in Chiral Perturbation Theory. Isospin-breaking effects at NLO (and partially NNLO) in the ChPT expansion, as well as QED radiative corrections are now accounted for. The analysis relies mainly on the cleanness of two specific ratios of form-factors, for which the theoretical control is excellent. As a result, the uncertainties on the K+ --> pi+ nu nubar and KL --> pi0 nu nubar matrix-elements are reduced by a factor of about 7 and 4, respectively, and similarly for the direct CP-violating contribution to KL --> pi0 l+ l-. They could be reduced even further with better experimental data for the Kl3 slopes and the K+l3 branching ratios. As a result, the non-parametric errors for B(K --> pi nu nubar) and for the direct CP-violating contributions to B(KL --> pi0 l+ l-) are now completely dominated by those on the short-distance physics.

  1. Challenging Majorana neutrino effects in $B\to K^{(\ast)}\nu\nu$ and $K\to \pi\nu\nu$ decays

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Belle-II's B→Kνν excess cannot be explained by dimension-7 lepton-number-violating SMEFT operators without fine-tuning neutrino masses, while a light sterile-neutrino extension can, with testable decay spectra.

  2. The KSVZ Atlas: A Unified SMEFT-ALP Framework

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A matching framework from arbitrary KSVZ UV completions to SMEFT and ALP EFT yields robust operator bounds from global fits that often dominate direct ALP searches except when mass mixing occurs.

  3. Observation of the $K^{+}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay and measurement of its branching ratio

    hep-ex 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    NA62 observes K+ -> pi+ nu nu-bar with 5 sigma significance and measures B = (13.0+3.3-3.0) x 10^-11, the smallest branching ratio measured above 5 sigma.

  4. Constraints on scalar leptoquarks from lepton and kaon physics

    hep-ph 2019-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Scalar leptoquark couplings are constrained by a comprehensive set of upper bounds from tau, muon, electron, and kaon decay data, including standard model interference in rare K to pi l+ l- modes.

  5. Prospects for $K_{L}\to\pi^{0}\nu\bar{\nu}$, $K_S\to\mu^+\mu^-$, $K_L\to\pi^0 \ell^+\ell^-$ and $\varepsilon^{\prime}/\varepsilon$ after the new $K^{+}\to\pi^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ result from NA62

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Z' model with both left- and right-handed sbar-d couplings can enhance K_L→π0ννbar by an order of magnitude while keeping K+→π+ννbar and ε_K SM-like.
