We review the status of theory and experiment of very rare and forbidden kaon decays. We then review the radiative non-leptonic decays, and the associated Dalitz pair modes. We pay particular attention to the study of long distance physics in radiative decays within the framework of chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT). We discuss the experiments that will run in the near future and the modes that they will be able to study.Comment: LaTeX file, 82 pages. 29 figures available from the authors.

“…The goal is to prevent the scientists from biasing their analysis toward results that are theoretically expected or, more generally, deemed to be likely or correct. In experimental particle physics strategies for blinding are manyfold and have been honed since their earliest application decades ago (Arisaka et al 1993). Blind-ing strategies in particle physics include hiding the signal region, offsetting parameters in the analysis by a hidden constant, and adding or removing events from the analysis (for a review, see Klein & Roodman (2005)).…”

Blinding multiprobe cosmological experiments

The goal of blinding is to hide an experiment's critical results -here the inferred cosmological parameters -until all decisions affecting its analysis have been finalised. This is especially important in the current era of precision cosmology, when the results of any new experiment are closely scrutinised for consistency or tension with previous results. In analyses that combine multiple observational probes, like the combination of galaxy clustering and weak lensing in the Dark Energy Survey (DES), it is challenging to blind the results while retaining the ability to check for (in)consistency between different parts of the data. We propose a simple new blinding transformation that works by modifying the summary statistics that are input to parameter estimation, such as two-point correlation functions. The transformation shifts the measured statistics to new values that are consistent with (blindly) shifted cosmological parameters, while preserving internal (in)consistency. We apply the blinding transformation to simulated data for the projected DES Year 3 galaxy clustering and weak lensing analysis, demonstrating that practical blinding is achieved without significant perturbation of internal-consistency checks, as measured here by degradation of the χ 2 between data and best-fitting model. Our blinding method conserves χ 2 more precisely as experiments evolve to higher precision.
