We present a calculation of the kaon $B$-parameter, $B_K$, using lattice QCD. We use improved staggered valence and sea fermions, the latter generated by the MILC collaboration with $N_f=2+1$ light flavors. To control discretization errors,…
We study the improvement of staggered fermions using hypercubically smeared (HYP) links. We calculate the strange quark mass and the kaon B-parameter, $B_K$, in quenched QCD on a $16^3 \times 64$ lattice at $\beta=6.0$. We find…

We report updated results for $B_K$ calculated using HYP-smeared staggered fermions on the MILC asqtad 2+1 flavor lattices. We use four different lattice spacings ($a \approx$ 0.12, 0.09, 0.06 and 0.045 fm) to control the continuum…
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…
We investigate the use of two kinds of staggered fermion operators, smeared and unsmeared. The smeared operators extend over a $4^4$ hypercube, and tend to have smaller perturbative corrections than the corresponding unsmeared operators. We…
