Description
Precision measurements of parameters of the rare decays KSto gamma gamma and KLto pi0gamma gamma will be presented. These two decays are related through common NLO corrections in the Chiral Perturbation Theory. The accuracy of few percent of the presented results represents an important precision test of this theory. New measurements of eta and K0 masses as well as KS lifetime will also be presented. They are by-products of the Re(epsilon'/epsilon) analysis and have precisions superior to present PDG values. The eta mass measured by NA48 differs by 4sigma from the actual world average.
