Abstract

Various theoretical estimates for the branching ratio of the decay mode

K^{+} \to π^{+} e^{+} e^{-}

are discussed. Using partial conservation of axial-vector current and current algebra, the process

K^{+} \to π^{+} e^{+} e^{-}

is related to

K^{+} \to π^{+} π^{0} γ

, and a new estimate based on this calculation is presented. It is concluded that the most reliable estimates are close to

10^{- 6}

.
