Precision tests of the Standard Model with leptonic and semileptonic kaon decays

arXiv:0801.1817 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2008.09.008

Abstract

We present a global analysis of leptonic and semileptonic kaon decays data, including all recent results by BNL-E865, KLOE, KTeV, ISTRA+, and NA48. Experimental results are critically reviewed and combined, taking into account theoretical (both analytical and numerical) constraints on the semileptonic kaon form factors. This analysis leads to a very accurate determination of Vus and allows us to perform several stringent tests of the Standard Model.
