Description
Through a special interplay of strong and weak interactions, small but significant pieces with a ''wrong'' flavor could be introduced into wave functions of mesons. Thus, e.g., not only a (u bar s) pair, but also a (u bar d) pair can be found with some probability within K+, etc. The possible importance of such ''anomalous'' terms in understanding of K-meson decays is discussed in a new scheme. The scheme is characterized by diagrammatic calculations of full amplitudes in the long-distance environment. Two classes of models which correctly reproduce the main K-meson branching ratios and the ΔI=1/2 rule are constructed. The predictive power of the scheme is then tested in a decay of a kaon into a pion and a light hyperphoton
