Abstract

The low energy dynamics of QCD is investigated with special attention paid to the matching between QCD and chiral perturbation theory(ChPT), and also to some useful algebraic chiral operator relations which survive even when we include chiral loop corrections. It then allows us to evaluate the hadronic matrix elements below the energy scale Λχ1\Lambda_{\chi} \simeq 1 GeV. Based on the new analyzes, we present a consistent prediction for both direct CP-violating parameter ϵ/ϵ\epsilon'/\epsilon and ΔI=1/2\Delta I =1/2 rule in the kaon decays. In the leading 1/Nc1/N_c approximation, the isospin amplitudes A0A_0 and A2A_2 are found to agree well with the data, and the direct CP-violating parameter ϵ/ϵ\epsilon'/\epsilon is predicted to be large, which also confirms our early conclusion. Its numerical value is ϵ/ϵ=23.67.8+12.4×104(Imλt/1.2×104)\epsilon'/\epsilon = 23.6^{+12.4}_{-7.8}\times 10^{-4}(Im\lambda_t/1.2\times 10^{-4}) which is no longer sensitive to the strange quark mass due to the matching conditions. Taking into account a simultaneous consistent analysis on the isospin amplitudes A0A_0 and A2A_2, the ratio ϵ/ϵ\epsilon'/\epsilon is in favor of the values ϵ/ϵ=(20±9)×104\epsilon'/\epsilon = (20\pm 9)\times 10^{-4}.

19 pages, ReVtex, no figures, the corrected version to be published in Phys. Rev. D . A more favorable and consistent prediction for direct CP violation is found: epsilon'(prime) /epsilon = (20 \pm 9) x 10^-4, here the contributions from finite meson masses and new isospin symmetry breaking effects have been included. The uncertainties from QCD (or low energy) scale have been considered. More references are added
