Theoretical status of

Abstract: I give a detailed introduction into the theoretical formalism for ǫ ′ /ǫ, which measures direct CP-violation in K → ππ decays. The current status of hadronic matrix elements and the strange quark mass is discussed. Several possible explanations of the unexpectedly high experimental results for ǫ ′ /ǫ are pointed out: A small strange quark mass, an enhancement of the hadronic parameter B (1/2) 6 from the σ resonance, an underestimate of isospin breaking and possible new physics contributions in the sdZ-vertex a… Show more

“…It is also known [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] that final state interactions (FSI) play an important role in the observed enhancement of the I = 0 decay amplitude, A 0 /A 2 ≈ 22.2. The presence of such a large phase-shift difference clearly signals a corresponding dispersive FSI effect in the moduli of the isospin amplitudes, because the real and imaginary parts are related by analyticity and unitarity.…”

“…This is in agreement with the analyses in Figs. 2͑a͒,2͑b͒,3͑a͒,3͑b͒,4͑a͒,4͑b͒. Such a small parameter space indicates that ⑀Ј/⑀ may impose a very strong constraint on the mass and mixing of the fourth generation up-type quark.…”
