Emerging Understanding of theΔI=1/2Rule from Lattice QCD

Abstract: There has been much speculation as to the origin of the ∆I = 1/2 rule (ReA0/ReA2 22.5). We find that the two dominant contributions to the ∆I = 3/2, K → ππ correlation functions have opposite signs leading to a significant cancellation. This partial cancellation occurs in our computation of ReA2 with physical quark masses and kinematics (where we reproduce the experimental value of A2) and also for heavier pions at threshold. For ReA0, although we do not have results at physical kinematics, we do have results … Show more

“…The only previous lattice computation of K → ππ decays at physical kinematics was performed using an ensemble at a single, rather coarse, value of the lattice spacing [a −1 ≃ 1.37(1) GeV]. We confirm the observation reported in [3] that there is a significant cancellation between the two dominant contributions to ReA 2 which we suggest is an important ingredient in understanding the ∆I = 1/2 rule, ReA 0 /ReA 2 ≃ 22.5, where the subscript denotes the total isospin of the two-pion final state. Our result for A 2 implies that the electroweak penguin contribution to ǫ ′ /ǫ is Re(ǫ ′ /ǫ) EWP = −(6.6 ± 1.0) × 10 −4 .…”

“…A very interesting feature of our earlier calculation of A 2 was the observation that the two dominant contributions to Re A 2 show a significant numerical cancellation [3]. We argued in [3] that this cancellation is an important element in the explanation of the ∆I = 1/2 rule, ReA 0 /ReA 2 ≃ 22.5.…”

“…8 A full-error-budget calculation is now being implemented by the RBC/UKQCD collaboration [88,89,90]. The methodology is fully in place, results for the I = 2 final state with a complete error budget are available [91], and complete results for the more challenging I = 0 final states should become available in the next few years.…”
