We will report on the first full calculation of the $K_L-K_S$ mass difference in lattice QCD. The calculation is performed on a 2+1 flavor, domain wall fermion, $24^3\times 64$ ensemble with a 329 MeV pion mass and a 575 MeV kaon mass. Both…
A lattice QCD approach to the calculation of the long-distance contributions to $\epsilon_K$ is presented. This parameter describes indirect CP violation in $K\to\pi\pi$ decay. While the short-distance contribution to $\epsilon_K$ can be…
In this work, we used a $32^3 \times 64 \times 32$, 2+1 flavor domain wall lattice with Iwasaki+DSDR gauge action. The pion mass is 171 MeV and the kaon mass is 492 MeV. We implement the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani (GIM) cancellation using…

We study contributions to the Delta S=2 weak Chiral Lagrangian producing K0-K0bar mixing which are not enhanced by the charm mass. For the real part, these contributions turn out to be related to the box diagram with up quarks but, unlike…
The calculation of the long-distance contribution to the $K^0-\bar{K}^0$ mass matrix is divided into three parts: First, the calculation of the matrix element between kaon states of the product of two space-time integrated, $\Delta S=1$,…
We demonstrate the lattice QCD calculation of the long distance contribution to $\epsilon_K$. Due to the singular, short-distance structure of $\epsilon_K$, we must perform a short-distance subtraction and introduce a corresponding…
The largest contribution to the CP violating K_L-K_S mixing parameter \epsilon_K comes from second order weak interactions at short distances and can be accurately determined by a combination of electroweak perturbation theory and the…
Standard lattice calculations in flavour physics or in studies of hadronic structure are based on the evaluation of matrix elements of local composite operators between hadronic states or the vacuum. In this talk I discuss developments…
In Ref [1] we have presented the results of an exploratory lattice QCD computation of the long-distance contribution to the $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ decay amplitude. In the present paper we describe the details of this calculation, which…
The real and imaginary parts of the $K_L-K_S$ mixing matrix receive contributions from all three charge-2/3 quarks: up, charm and top. These give both short- and long-distance contributions which are accessible through a combination of…
In this article, I will present the status of our calculation of the difference between the masses of the long- and short-lived neutral K mesons, $\Delta m_K$ predicted by the Standard Model. This calculation is performed on an ensemble of…
We report the first calculation using physical light-quark masses of the electromagnetic form factor $V(z)$ describing the long-distance contributions to the $K^+\to\pi^+\ell^+\ell^-$ decay amplitude. The calculation is performed on a 2+1…
The rare decays of a kaon into a pion and a charged lepton/antilepton pair proceed via a flavour changing neutral current and therefore may only be induced beyond tree level in the Standard Model. This natural suppression makes these decays…
We estimate the long distance contribution to the $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \nu \bar\nu$ decay amplitude using chiral perturbation theory. We find that it is likely to be less than a few percent of the part of the short distance contribution…
We compute the complex, long-distance two-photon-exchange amplitude which contributes to the rare $K_{\rm L}\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-$ decay from lattice QCD. We use a $24^3\times 64$ physical-pion-mass gauge field ensemble at an inverse…
The two neutral kaon states in nature, the $K_L$ (long-lived) and $K_S$ (short-lived) mesons, are the two time-evolution eigenstates of the $K^0 - \overline{K^0}$ mixing system. The prediction of their mass difference $\Delta m_K$ based on…
The rare kaon decay $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$ is an ideal process in which to search for signs of new physics and is the primary goal of the NA62 experiment at CERN. In this paper we report on a lattice QCD calculation of the long-distance…
