Perspective Lessons from the past: 60!MK rare low energy processes like!mk 87 ARGUS at Desy!MBd (charm), Bd - Bd osc. and EWPT (top), can tell us a lot about heavy particles 9x LEP prior to their discovery Present 99-now Belle/Babar SM works remarkably well (surprisingly also in the least understood sector, the flavor sector) Future In order to test NP indirectly we need theoretically very clean observables, preferably with small SM contribution.

CKM and rare K decays f the so-called golden relation (sin 2β) ψks = (sin 2β) πν ν. test of the golden relation Could help improve the knowledge of CKM parameters However, more interesting is the 201x scenario: * CKM known to great precision independent of NP from Belle, BaBar, LHCb,... * SM prediction for K +, KL together with a 10% measurement allows precision test of the flavor structure of NP
New physics MFV MFV models general Flavor violation (Susy, warped ED)
Minimal Flavor Violation Buras, Gambino, Gorbahn, Jäger, Silvestrini (00) EFT approach: D Ambrosio, Giudice, Isidori, Strumia (02) In the limit of vanishing Yukawas SM acquires G=U(3) 5 SU(3)Q#SU(3)u#SU(3)d global symmetry. EFT approach Yukawa = Q L Y D D R H + Q L Y U U R (H) c Yukawas formally transform as YD ~ (3,1,3*) YU ~ (3,3*,1) MFV= effective field theory constructed with SM fields and Y s is invariant under G and CP 7 new parameters, aka independent Wilson coefficients, to describe all NP in B and K decays (more for large tan)) & all flavor changing processes governed by universal CKM

Conclusions One of the most promising precision measurements to probe beyond SM particles with TeV mass and quark-flavor quantum numbers Rare Kaon decays are ideal test/killer of MFV Models with general flavor violation still allow for large deviations from SM See talk by talk by P.
