Abstract

We present the matrix elements for the semileptonic kaon decays K_l2γ, K_l2l⁺l^-, K_l2l'⁺l'^-, K_l3, K_l3γ and K_l4 at next-to-leading order in chiral perturbation theory and compare the predictions with experimental data. Monte Carlo event generators are used to calculate the corresponding rates at DAFNE. We discuss the possibilities to improve our knowledge of the low-energy structure of the Standard Model at this and similar machines.
