Major advances spanning several orders of magnitude in sensitivity are anticipated in the current round of experiments dealing with rare kaon decays. Observations of allowed processes, like [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], shed light on detailed aspects of the standard model. New sources of T or CP violation could be manifested by measurements of muon polarization in K → πμνμ and [Formula: see text] decays and by studies of reactions like [Formula: see text]. Evidence for new particles and new interactions could appear in advanced efforts to observe K → πxx′ and K → πx decays, where x and x′ represent hypothetical neutral particles, and in searches for lepton flavor violating processes [Formula: see text] and K+ → π+μe. The experiments are reviewed and their theoretical context is discussed.

We discuss the RBC & UKQCD collaborations’ recent [1] lattice calculation of ϵ′, the measure of direct CP-violation in kaon decays. This result significantly improves on our previous 2015 calculation, with nearly 4× the statistics and more reliable systematic error estimates. We discuss how our results demonstrate the Standard Model origin of the ΔI = 1/2 rule, and present our plans for future calculations.

I discuss some aspects of future prospects of the experimental exploration of the unknowns in the neutrino mass pattern and the lepton flavor mixing. I start from measuring θ13 by reactors and accelerators as a prerequisite for proceeding to search for leptonic CP violation. I then discuss how CP violation can be uncovered, and how the neutrino mass hierarchy can be determined. I do these by resolving so called the "parameter degeneracy" which is required anyway if one wants to seek precision measurement of the lepton mixing parameters. As a concrete setting for resolving the degeneracy I use the Tokai-to-Kamioka-Korea two detector complex which receives neutrino superbeam from J-PARC, which is sometimes called as "T2KK". It is shown that T2KK is able to resolve all the eight-fold parameter degeneracy in a wide range of the lepton mixing parameters. Some alternative ways of measuring the unknowns are also briefly mentioned.

The KTeV experiment (Kaons at the TeVatron) at Fermilab studies CP violating and other rare kaon decays, including the search for the lepton-flavor violating mode KL→π0μ±e∓. KTeV has obtained a new, preliminary branching ratio limit of BR(KL→π0μ±e∓)<4.40×10-10.
