Abstract

We present results for the light quark masses and the neutral kaon mixing parameter BKB_K from lattice QCD. Our data set includes lighter than physical light quark masses and 5 lattice spacings so that chiral extrapolation is not necessary and cutoff effects are fully under control. We obtain fully nonperturbative predictions for mud=(mu+md)/2m_{ud}=(m_u+m_d)/2, msm_s and BKB_K in the RI scheme with MπM_\pi, MKM_K and MΩM_\Omega as the only input quantities. Using perturbative 4-loop respectively 2-loop running and dispersive input from η3π\eta\rightarrow 3\pi, we obtain muMSˉ(2GeV)=2.17(4)(10)MeVm_u^\mathrm{\bar{MS}}(2 \mathrm{GeV})=2.17(4)(10) \mathrm{MeV}, mdMSˉ(2GeV)=4.79(7)(12)MeVm_d^\mathrm{\bar{MS}}(2 \mathrm{GeV})=4.79(7)(12) \mathrm{MeV}, msMSˉ(2GeV)=95.5(1.1)(1.5)MeVm_s^\mathrm{\bar{MS}}(2 \mathrm{GeV})=95.5(1.1)(1.5) \mathrm{MeV} and B^K=0.773(8)(8)\hat{B}_K=0.773(8)(8) where the first error is statistical and the second systematic.
