Rare and Radiative Kaon Decays

Abstract

We review the status of theory and experiment of very rare and forbidden kaon decays. We then review the radiative non-leptonic decays, and the associated Dalitz pair modes. We pay particular attention to the study of long distance physics in radiative decays within the framework of chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT). We discuss the experiments that will run in the near future and the modes that they will be able to study.
