Update on $B_K$ and $\varepsilon_K$ with staggered quarks

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2013-11-04 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We update our results for BKB_K obtained using HYP-smeared staggered valence quarks on the MILC asqtad lattices. In the last year, we have added 5 new measurments on the fine (a0.09  a\approx 0.09\;fm) ensembles, and 2 new measurements on the superfine (a0.06  a\approx 0.06\;fm) ensembles. These allow a simultaneous extrapolation in a2a^2 and sea quark masses, reducing the corresponding systematic error significantly. Our updated result is B^K=0.738±0.005(stat)±0.034(sys)\hat{B}_K = 0.738 \pm 0.005 (\text{stat}) \pm 0.034 (\text{sys}).
