Abstract
We present a detailed numerical study of the K_{e3} decays to O(p^6,(m_d-m_u)p^2,e^2p^2) in chiral perturbation theory with virtual photons and leptons. We describe the extraction of the CKM matrix element |V_(us)| from the experimental K_(e3) decay parameters. We propose a consistency check of the K^+_(e3) and K^0_(e3) data that is largely insensitive to the dominating theoretical uncertainties, in particular the contributions of order p^6. Our analysis is highly relevant in view of the recent high statistics measurement of the K^+_(e3) branching ratio by E865 at Brookhaven which does not indicate any significant deviation from CKM unitarity but rather a discrepancy with the present K^0_(e3) data.
