Kaon physics: Recent experimental progress
Abstract
Description
Numerous recent measurements of kaon decays are described, with an emphasis on results offering constraints on chiral perturbation theory calculations. An up-to-date estimate of |Vus|f+(0) based on semileptonic kaon decay rates is presented.
