Long-Distance Effects in Rare K Decays

Abstract

Rare K decays provide for very clean tests of the Standard Model, and are especially suited to search for New Physics signal. In this talk, recent progresses in the estimation of long-distance effects induced by light quarks in KL to pi0 mu+ mu- and K+ to pi+ nu nu are reported.
