Title: Standard Model Prediction for Direct C P Violation in Kππ Decay

Abstract

In this paper, we report the first lattice QCD calculation of the complex kaon decay amplitude A0 with physical kinematics, using a 323 x 64 lattice volume and a single lattice spacing a, with 1/a = 1.3784(68) GeV. We find Re(A0) = 4.66(1.00)(1.26) x 10-7 GeV and Im(A0) = -1.90(1.23)(1.08) x 10-11 GeV, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. The first value is in approximate agreement with the experimental result: Re(A0) = 3.3201(18) x 10-7 GeV, while the second can be used to compute the direct CP-violating ratio Re(ϵ'/ϵ) = 1.38(5.15)(4.59) x 10-4, which is 2.1σ below the experimental value 16.6(2.3) x 10-4. Finally, the real part of A0 is CP conserving and serves as a test of our method while the result for Re(ϵ'/ϵ) provides a new test of the standard model theory of CP violation, one which can be made more accurate with increasing computer capability.
