Perturbative renormalization factors for generic Δs=2\Delta s=2 four-quark operators in domain-wall QCD with improved gauge action

We calculate one-loop renormalization factors of generic DeltaS=2 four-quark operators for domain-wall QCD with the plaquette gauge action and the Iwasaki gauge action. The renormalization factors are presented in the modified minimal subtraction (MS-bar) scheme with the naive dimensional regularization. As an important application we show how to construct the renormalization factors for the operators contributing to K^0-K^0bar mixing in the supersymmetric models with the use of our results.Comment: 22 pages,uses revtex

Zeros of QCD partition function from finite density lattices

Partition function zeros steer the critical behavior of a system. Studying four-flavor lattice QCD at finite temperature and density with the Wilson-clover fermion action and the Iwasaki gauge action using a phase-quenched fermion determinant, we combine statistics from multiple chemical potentials to improve sampling of the configuration space, and aim at unraveling the movement of zeros in finite systems. Preparing for further investigations, we discuss methods and criteria used to sieve through complex parameter space spanned by $(\text{Re}\mu, \text{Im}\mu)$ and $(\text{Re}\mu, \text{Im}\beta)$, and present statistically robust zeros of the partition function.Comment: 7 pages, 1 table, and 8 figures, presented at the 31st International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory (Lattice 2013), 29 July - 3 August 2013, Mainz, Germany.
