Comment on the Matrix Element of $O_{11}$

Abstract

The gluon dipole operator, $O_{11}$, has received much attention recently because it can have a large coefficient in some SUSY extensions of the standard model. We find that the commonly used matrix element of $O_{11}$ of Bertolini, Eeg and Fabbrichesi is in rough (but accidental) numerical agreement with an estimate based on dimensional analysis.
