We have computed $ B_K $ with staggered fermions, using two different methods: both in the one spin trace form and two spin trace form. Renormalized results in both forms are in good agreement. The numerical simulations were performed on a…
We have computed $ B_K $, using two different methods with staggered fermions on a $ 16^3 \times 40 $ lattice at $ \beta = 5.7 $ with two dynamical flavors of a mass 0.01. % Using an improved wall source method, we have studied a series of…
We describe how the Schroedinger functional and twisted mass QCD can be used to compute the kaon B-parameter B_K on the lattice with Wilson fermions. This new approach is expected to reduce the systematic uncertainties on B_K through a…
It has been known for some time that there are two methods to calculate $ B_K $ with staggered fermions: one is the two spin trace formalism and the other is the one spin trace formalism. Until now, the two spin trace formalism has been…

We present a two-flavor QCD calculation of $B_K$ on a $16^3 \times 32$ lattice at $a\sim 0.12$ fm (or equivalently $a^{-1}\sim$1.67 GeV). Both valence and sea quarks are described by the overlap fermion formulation. The matching factor is…
We report preliminary results from an ongoing calculation of $B_K$ for $N_f=2$ dynamical QCD with domain wall fermions. Simulations have been done with three dynamical quark masses on $16^3 \times 32$ volumes with $L_s = 12$, where the…
We computed the B_K parameter on the lattice by using a non-perturbatively improved Wilson action. From our quenched simulation, in the MSbar scheme and at mu=2 GeV, we obtain B_K=0.73(7)^{+0.05}_{-0.01}. To gain some insight in the…
This talk summarizes the status of the calculations of $B_K$, $B_7$, $B_8$, and $B_s$, done in collaboration with T. Bhattacharya, G. Kilcup, and S. Sharpe. Results for staggered, Wilson, and Clover fermions are presented.
