Abstract
Radiative meson decays are a fertile field for chiral perturbation theory. Chiral symmetry together with gauge invariance yield stringent constraints on radiative decay amplitudes. In addition to predicting decay rates and spectra, the chiral approach allows for a unified description of CP violation in radiative K decays. The chiral viewpoint in the recent controversy over the magnitude of two-photon exchange in the decay K L → π 0 e + e − is exposed. The radiative decay η → π 0 γγ is discussed as an intriguing case where the leading result of chiral perturbation theory seems to be too small by two orders of magnitude in rate.
