In this overview, I discuss some of the open issues in Kaon physics. After briefly touching on lattice calculations of Kaon dynamics and tests of CPT, my main focus of attention is on epsilon prime over epsilon and on constraints on the CKM…
We present a precise determination of the leptonic decay constant F_D(s) of the D(s)-meson in quenched lattice QCD. This work is particularly focused on the analysis and discussion of all sources of systematic errors. We simulate directly…
We report a direct lattice calculation of the $K$ to $\pi\pi$ decay matrix elements for both $\Delta I=1/2$ and $3/2$ channels on 2+1 flavor, domain wall fermion, $16^3\times32$ lattices with zero $\pi\pi$ relative momentum and $m_\pi=420$…
We discuss a number of old and new methods for computing $K\to\pi\pi$ amplitudes on the lattice. They all involve a non-perturbative determination of matching coefficients. We show how problems related to operator mixing can be greatly…
I discuss the lattice calculations relevant to recent advances in CKM phenomenology, focusing on those relevant to new experimental results reported at this workshop.
Recent measurements of kaon decays provide new information about CKM unitarity, lepton universality, and discrete symmetries. KLOE-2, the proposed extension of the kaon physics program at Frascati, will extend the world data set on kaon…
I review recent lattice calculations of hyperon physics, including hyperon spectroscopy, axial coupling constants, form factors and semileptonic decays.
We present results for matrix elements of $\Delta S=2$ four-fermion operators arising generically in models of new physics. These are needed to constrain such models using the measured values of $\varepsilon_K$ and $\Delta M_K$. We use…
We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the complex kaon decay amplitude $A_0$ with physical kinematics, using a $32^3\times 64$ lattice volume and a single lattice spacing $a$, with $1/a= 1.3784(68)$ GeV. We find Re$(A_0) =…
One of the sensitive probes of physics beyond the standard model is the test of the unitarity of the Cabbibo-Kobyashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. Current analysis of the first row is based on $|V_{ud}|$ from fourteen superallowed $0^+ \to 0^+$…
We report a first, complete lattice QCD calculation of the long-distance contribution to the $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay within the standard model. This is a second-order weak process involving two four-Fermi operators that is highly…
We discuss the present status of global fits to the CKM unitary triangle using the latest experimental and theoretical constraints. For the required nonperturbative weak matrix elements, we use three-flavor lattice QCD averages from…
Major progress has been made in kaon physics in the past 50 years. The number of KL->pi+pi- events has increased by 6 orders of magnitude, and the observed CP violation was experimentally proven to be caused by a complex phase in the CKM…
We present lattice results for $f_K/f_{\pi}$ in the iso-symmetric limit of pure QCD (isoQCD) with $N_f=2+1$ flavours, along with a determination of $|V_{us}|/|V_{ud}|$ and a study on the unitarity of the first row of the…
We present first results from the QCDSF collaboration for the kaon semileptonic decay form factors at zero momentum transfer, using two flavours of non-perturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson quarks. A lattice determination of these form…
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 $\epsilon_K$…
We present a new calculation of the K->pi semileptonic form factor at zero momentum transfer in domain wall lattice QCD with Nf=2+1 dynamical quark flavours. By using partially twisted boundary conditions we simulate directly at the…
We present some results of the {\bf{ELC}} (European Lattice Collaboration) study of leptonic and semi-leptonic decays of heavy-light mesons. Results on the decay constants $f_D, f_{D_s}$ and $f_B, f_{B_s}$, the semi-leptonic form factors of…
We report a direct lattice calculation of the $K$ to $\pi\pi$ decay matrix elements for both the $\Delta I=1/2$ and 3/2 amplitudes $A_0$ and $A_2$ on 2+1 flavor, domain wall fermion, $16^3\times32\times16$ lattices. This is a complete…
In recent years, we used lattice QCD to calculate some quantities that were unknown or poorly known. They are the $q^2$ dependence of the form factor in semileptonic $D\to Kl\nu$ decay, the leptonic decay constants of the $D^+$ and $D_s$…
