Abstract

We present the first results for neutral kaon mixing using 2+1 flavors of domain wall fermions. A new approach is used to extrapolate to the physical up and down quark masses from our numerical studies with pion masses in the range 240 -- 420 MeV; only SU(2)L×SU(2)RSU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R chiral symmetry is assumed and the kaon is not assumed to be light. Our main result is BKMSˉ(2GeV)=0.524(10)(28)B_K^{\bar{\rm MS}}(2 \mathrm{GeV}) = 0.524(10)(28) where the first error is statistical and the second incorporates estimates for all systematic errors.
