Kaon Mixing Beyond the Standard Model
Abstract
We report on an ongoing calculation of hadronic matrix elements needed to parameterize K-Kbar mixing in generic BSM scenarios, using domain wall fermions (DWF) at two lattice spacings. Recent work by the SWME collaboration shows a significant disagreement with our previous results for two of these quantities. Since the origin of this disagreement is unknown, it is important to reduce the various uncertainties. In this work, we are using Nf=2+1 DWF with Iwasaki gauge action at inverse lattice spacings of 2.31 and 1.75 GeV, with multiple unitary pions on each ensemble, the lightest being 290 and 330 MeV on the finer and coarser of the two ensembles respectively. This extends previous work by the addition of a second lattice spacing (a-1≈ 1.75 GeV). Renormalization is carried out non-perturbatively in the RI/MOM scheme and converted perturbatively to MSbar.
