Rare kaon decays due to the loop-induced standard model operator s¯LγμdLν¯LγμνL are examined. Isospin-violating mass effects and electroweak radiative corrections are shown to reduce B(K+π+νν¯) and B(KLπ0νν¯) relative to B(K+π0e+νe) by 10% and 5.6%, respectively. Predicted branching ratios for (KL→νν¯γ) and (KL→νν¯) (if neutrinos have mass) are given. The sensitivity of ‘‘missing energy’’ rare K decays to new interactions or the emission of light weakly interacting neutral particles, other than neutrinos, is also briefly discussed. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
