The Standard Model amplitudes for processes where one or more gauge bosons are emitted exhibit zeros in the angular distributions. The theoretical and experimental aspects of these radiation amplitude zeros are reviewed and some recent results are discussed. It is shown that radiation zeros can be explained as a result of the factorization of the amplitudes as well as a consequence of the decoupling theorem. It is briefly explained how radiation zeros can be used to test the SM. ©2000 American Institute of Physics.
