Calculation of BSM Kaon B-parameters using Staggered Quarks

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2014-11-07 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We present updated results for kaon B-parameters for operators arising in models of new physics. We use HYP-smeared staggered quarks on the Nf=2+1N_f = 2+1 MILC asqtad lattices. During the last year we have added new ensembles, which has necessitated chiral-continuum fitting with more elaborate fitting functions. We have also corrected an error in a two-loop anomalous dimension used to evolve results between different scales. Our results for the beyond-the-Standard-Model B-parameters have total errors of 5105-10\%. We find that the discrepancy observed last year between our results and those of the RBC/UKQCD and ETM collaborations for some of the B-parameters has been reduced from 4 ⁣ ⁣5σ4\!-\!5\,\sigma to 2 ⁣ ⁣3σ2\!-\!3\,\sigma.
