Using domain wall fermions, we estimate B_K(mu approx 2 GeV)=0.602(38) in quenched QCD which is consistent with previous calculations. We also find ratios of decay constants that are consistent with experiment, within our statistical…

We present our recent results for the B-parameters, which parameterize the \Delta B=2 transition amplitudes. Calculations are made in quenched QCD at \beta=5.7, 5.9, and 6.1, using NRQCD for heavy quark and the $O(a)$-improved action for…

We present a preliminary calculation of B_K using domain-wall valence quarks and 2+1 flavors of improved staggered sea quarks. Both the size of the residual quark mass, which measures the amount of chiral symmetry breaking, and of the mixed…

The $B_K$ parameter is computed in quenched lattice QCD with Wilson twisted mass fermions. Two variants of tmQCD are used; in both of them the relevant $\Delta S = 2$ four-fermion operator is renormalised multiplicatively. The…
