Abstract

KπK \to \pi and K0K \to 0 weak matrix elements of ΔS=1\Delta S = 1 operators have been measured in 2+1 flavor domain wall fermion (DWF) QCD on (3 fm)3^3 lattices with a1=1.73(3)a^{-1} = 1.73(3) GeV. As is well known, using these matrix elements and chiral perturbation theory allows a determination of the KππK \to \pi \pi matrix elements that enter in the quantitative value for the ΔI=1/2\Delta I = 1/2 rule and ϵ/ϵ\epsilon^\prime/\epsilon. Two light dynamical sea quark masses have been used, along with six valence quark masses, with the lightest valence quark mass 1/10\approx 1/10 the physical strange quark mass. We report our results for lattice matrix elements in the SU(3)L×SU(3)RSU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R (27,1), (8,1), and (8,8) representations, paying particular attention to the statistical errors achieved after measurements on 75 configurations. We also report on our calculation of the non-perturbative renormalization coefficients for these ΔS=1\Delta S=1 weak operators, using the Rome-Southampton method.
