One loop matching factors for improved staggered four-fermion operators with improved glue

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2011-03-10 v1

Abstract

We present results for matching factors for staggered four-fermion operators constructed using HYP-smeared fat links both in the action and the operators. We use perturbation theory to calculate the matching factors and work to one-loop order. The new feaure of this work is the use of the Symanzik-improved gauge action, as opposed to the Wilson gauge action. Our results are needed for our ongoing calculation of weak matrix elements using HYP-smeared staggered valence quarks and operators on MILC lattices. We give explicit results for matching factors of the operator needed to calculate BKB_K. We compare the impact of the improvement of the gauge action on one-loop coefficients with that of mean-field improvement of the operators.
