We extend our recent unquenched ($N_f=2+1$ flavor) calculation of $B_K$ using improved staggered fermions by including in the fits the finite volume shift predicted by one-loop staggered chiral perturbation theory. The net result is to…
We discuss finite volume errors in our calculations of $B_K$ using improved staggered fermions on the MILC asqtad lattices. Using GPUs, we are now able to extrapolate using next-to-leading order (NLO) staggered SU(2) chiral perturbation…
We study three sources of error in our calculation of $B_K$ using HYP-smeared staggered fermions on the MILC asqtad lattices. These are (1) dependence on the light sea quark mass; (2) finite volume effects; and (3) the impact of an order of…
We present the results for $B_K$ calculated using HYP-smeared staggered fermions using lattices generated by the MILC collaboration using the asqtad staggered action. We have done the calculation on 8 ensembles of these lattices, including…
We present results for $B_K$ calculated using HYP-smeared improved staggered fermions on the MILC asqtad lattices. In this report, the data is analyzed using the results of SU(2) staggered chiral perturbation theory (SChPT). We outline the…
We report updated results for $B_K$ using HYP-smeared staggered valence quarks on MILC asqtad lattices based on an analysis using SU(3) staggered chiral perturbation theory. The most important new feature of our data sample is the inclusion…
We present recent progress in our calculation of $B_K$ with improved staggered fermions using chiral extrapolations based on SU(3) staggered chiral perturbation theory. We have accumulated significantly higher statistics on the coarse,…
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 present preliminary results for $B_K$ from the MILC ultrafine lattices, based on a partial ensemble of 305 configurations. We use HYP-smeared improved staggered valence quarks. The analysis is done using fitting forms based on both SU(2)…
We present results for kaon mixing parameter $B_K$ calculated using HYP-smeared improved staggered fermions on the MILC asqtad lattices. We use three lattice spacings ($a\approx 0.12$, $0.09$ and $0.06\;$fm), ten different valence quark…
We report on recent progress in the calculation of $B_K$ using HYP-smeared improved staggered fermions on the MILC asqtad lattices. We have added measurements on fine ($a\sim 0.09 $fm) and superfine ($a\sim 0.06 $fm) ensembles at different…
The use of improved staggered actions (HYP, Asqtad) has been proved to reduce the scaling corrections that affected previous calculations of B_K with unimproved (standard) staggered fermions in the quenched approximation. This improved…
Taming finite-volume effects is a crucial ingredient in order to identify the existence of IR fixed points. We present the latest results from our numerical simulations of SU(2) gauge theory with 2 Dirac fermions in the adjoint…
One of the more important systematic effects affecting lattice computations of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_\mu^{\rm HVP}$, is the distortion due to a finite spatial volume.…
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 present preliminary results of $B_K$ calculated using improved staggered fermions with the mixed action (valence quarks = HYP staggered fermions and sea quarks = AsqTad staggered fermions). We analyze the data based upon the prediction…
We discuss the impact of using one-loop matching on the calculation of $B_K$ using HYP-smeared improved staggered fermions. We give estimates of size of the truncation errors from the missing two-loop corrections.
Many evidences from lattice simulations support the idea that SU(2) with two Dirac flavors in the adjoint representation (also called Minimal Walking Technicolor) is IR conformal. A possible way to see this is through the behavior of the…
We report on the MILC Collaboration calculation of electromagnetic effects on light pseudoscalar mesons. The simulations employ asqtad staggered dynamical quarks in QCD plus quenched photons, with lattice spacings varying from 0.12 to 0.06…
