Radiative Kaon Decays and $CP$ Violation

Abstract

The amplitudes of $K\to \pi {\gamma }^{\ast }\to \pi e^{+}{e}^{-}$ and $K\to \pi \pi \gamma$ decays have been calculated within chiral Lagrangian approach including higher-order derivative terms and meson loops. The selfconsistency of the simultaneous description of the experimental data on the nonleptonic and radiative kaon decays have been demonstrated. We estimate the effects of ``indirect'' and ``direct'' $CP$-violation in $K_L^0\to {\pi }^0{e}^{+}{e}^{-}$ decays and discuss $CP$-violating charge asymmetries in $K^{\pm }\to {\pi }^{\pm }{\pi }^0\gamma$ decays.
