Kaon Decays in the Standard Model
read the original abstract
A comprehensive overview of kaon decays is presented. The Standard Model predictions are discussed in detail, covering both the underlying short-distance electroweak dynamics and the important interplay of QCD at long distances. Chiral perturbation theory provides a universal framework for treating leptonic, semileptonic and nonleptonic decays including rare and radiative modes. All allowed decay modes with branching ratios of at least 10^(-11) are analyzed. Some decays with even smaller rates are also included. Decays that are strictly forbidden in the Standard Model are not considered in this review. The present experimental status and the prospects for future improvements are reviewed.

Irreducible Constraints on Hadronically Interacting Sub-GeV Dark Matter
Sub-GeV dark matter that interacts hadronically is ruled out for nucleon scattering cross sections above 10^{-36} cm² across the keV to 100 MeV mass range by combined cosmological and particle-decay constraints.

Probing CP and flavor violation in neutral kaon decays with ALPs
The ratio of K_L to pi pi a versus K_L to pi0 a decay rates probes CP violation via flavor violation alone, with weak-interaction contributions emphasized as often neglected.

Correlated $b \to s$ and $s \to d$ Rare Semileptonic Transitions in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory
SMEFT global fit to b→s anomalies with complex Wilson coefficients shows left-handed four-fermion operators preferred and demonstrates that U(3)^5 or U(2)^5 flavor symmetry restores consistency with kaon data.

Kinetic Mixing and Axial Charges in the Parity-Doublet Model
Kinetic mixing terms are introduced in the parity-doublet model to reproduce the empirical axial charge g_A ≈ 1.28 of the nucleon along with masses of the nucleon and N*(1535).
