Standard Model Prediction for Direct Violation in Decay
Physical review letters, 2015•APS
We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the complex kaon decay amplitude A 0 with
physical kinematics, using a 32 3× 64 lattice volume and a single lattice spacing a, with 1/a=
1.3784 (68) GeV. We find Re (A 0)= 4.66 (1.00)(1.26)× 1 0-7 GeV and Im (A 0)=-1.90
(1.23)(1.08)× 1 0-11 GeV, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. The
first value is in approximate agreement with the experimental result: Re (A 0)= 3.3201 (18)×
1 0-7 GeV, while the second can be used to compute the direct CP-violating ratio Re …

We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the complex kaon decay amplitude with physical kinematics, using a lattice volume and a single lattice spacing , with . We find and Im(A0)=-1.90(1.23)(1.08)×10-11 GeV, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. The first value is in approximate agreement with the experimental result: , while the second can be used to compute the direct -violating ratio , which is below the experimental value . The real part of is conserving and serves as a test of our method while the result for provides a new test of the standard model theory of violation, one which can be made more accurate with increasing computer capability.
