Rare K Decays and New Physics Beyond the Standard Model

Abstract

Rare decays provide a complementary window to direct collider searches as probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. We present an overview of the New Physics sensitivity provided by existing and future measurements of rare leptonic and semileptonic $K$ decays within the context of several classes of models.
