Current Status of Indirect CP Violation in Neutral Kaon System

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2012-11-06 v1

Abstract

In the standard model (SM), the CP violation is introduced through a single phase in the CKM matrix. The neutral kaon system is one of the most precise channels to test how the SM theory describes the experiment data such as ϵK\epsilon_K accurately. The indirect CP violation is parametrized into ϵK\epsilon_{K}, which can be calculated directly using lattice QCD. In this calculation, the largest uncertainty comes from two sources: one is B^K\hat{B}_K and the other is VcbV_{cb}. We use the lattice results of B^K\hat{B}_K and exclusive VcbV_{cb} to calculate the theoretical estimate of ϵK\epsilon_K, which turns out to be 3.1σ3.1\sigma away from its experimental value. Here, the error is evaluated using the standard error propagation method.
