Calculation of K→ππK \to \pi\pi decay amplitudes with an improved Wilson fermion action in a nonzero momentum frame in lattice QCD

We present our result for the $K\to\pi\pi$ decay amplitudes for both the $\Delta I=1/2$ and $3/2$ processes with the improved Wilson fermion action. In order to realize the physical kinematics, where the pions in the final state have finite momenta, we consider the decay process $K({\bf p}) \to \pi({\bf p}) + \pi({\bf 0})$ in the nonzero momentum frame with momentum ${\bf p}=(0,0,2\pi/L)$ on the lattice. Our calculations are carried out with $N_f=2+1$ gauge configurations generated with the Iwasaki gauge action and nonperturbatively $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermion action at $a=0.091\,{\rm fm}$ ($1/a=2.176\,{\rm GeV}$), $m_\pi=260\,{\rm MeV}$, and $m_K=570\,{\rm MeV}$ on a $48^3\times 64$ ($La=4.4\,{\rm fm}$) lattice. For these parameters the energy of the $K$ meson is set at that of two-pion in the final state. We obtain ${\rm Re}A_2 = 2.431(19) \times10^{ -8}\,{\rm GeV}$, ${\rm Re}A_0 = 51(28) \times10^{ -8}\,{\rm GeV}$, and $\epsilon'/\epsilon = 1.9(5.7) \times10^{-3}$ for a matching scale $q^* =1/a$ where the errors are statistical. The dependence on the matching scale $q^*$ of these values is weak. The systematic error arising from the renormalization factors is expected to be around $1.3\%$ for ${\rm Re}A_2$ and $11 \%$ for ${\rm Re}A_0$. Prospects toward calculations with the physical quark mass are discussed.Comment: LaTeX2e, 19 pages, 5 eps figures, uses revtex4 and graphicx. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1505.05289.

Pion decay constant in quenched QCD with Kogut-Susskind quarks

We present a non-perturbative calculation for the pion decay constant with quenched Kogut-Susskind quarks. Numerical simulations are carried out at $\beta = 6.0$ and 6.2 with various operators extending over all flavors. The renormalization correction is applied for each flavor by computing non-perturbative renormalization constants, and it is compared with a perturbative calculation. We also study the behavior of $f_\pi$ in the continuum limits for both non-perturbative and perturbative calculations. The results in the continuum limit is also discussed.Comment: LATTICE99(matrix elements) 3 pages, 4 eps figure

Intra-Landau level polarization effect for a striped Hall gas

We calculate the polarization function including only intra-Landau level correlation effects of striped Hall gas. Using the polarization function, the dielectric function, the dispersion of the plasmon and the correlation energy are computed in a random phase approximation (RPA) and generalized random phase approximation (GRPA). The plasmon becomes anisotropic and gapless owing to the anisotropy of the striped Hall gas and two dimensionality of the quantum Hall system. The plasmon approximately agrees with the phonon derived before by the single mode approximation. The (G)RPA correlation energy is compared with other numerical calculations.Comment: 15 pages,15 figures, revtex4, published versio
