We present the 1-loop renormalization of the energy momentum tensor using the overlap fermion and a HYP-smeared Iwasaki gauge action. We also calculate the 1-loop matching coefficient that convert the lattice simulation results renormalized…

We present a 1-loop perturbative calculation of the fermion propagator, up to O(a^2) (a: lattice spacing). The fermions are described by Wilson, clover and twisted-mass actions; for gluons we use Symanzik improved actions (Plaquette,…

We give an update on our calculation of $B_K$ using HYP-smeared valence staggered quarks. We have results for $B_K$ at tree-level on several coarse MILC lattices ($a\approx 0.12 $fm) and one of the fine lattices ($a\approx 0.09 $fm), using…
