We analyze the CP violating ratio epe=epsilon/epsilon in the Standard Model in view of the new KTeV results. We review the present status of the most important non-perturbative parameters B_6, B_8, B_K and of the strange quark mass m_s. We also briefly discuss the issues of final state interactions and renormalization scheme dependence. Updating the values of the CKM parameters, of m_t and Lambda (MSbar) and using Gaussian errors for the experimental input and flat distributions for the theoretical parameters we find epe substantially below the NA31 and KTeV data: epe= (7.7^{+6.0}_{-3.5}) 10^{-4} and epe= (5.2^{+4.6}_{-2.7}) 10^{-4} in the NDR and HV renormalization schemes respectively. A simple scanning of all input parameters gives on the other hand 1.05 10^{-4} < epe < 28.8 10^{-4} and 0.26 10^{-4} < epe < 22.0 10^{-4} respectively. Analyzing the dependence on various parameters we find that only for extreme values of B_6, B_8 and m_s and suitable values of CKM parameters and Lambda(MSbar), the ratio epe can be made consistent with data. We analyze the impact of these data on the lower bounds for Im(V_{td}V_{ts}^*), Br(K_L to pi^0 nu barnu), Br(K_L to pi^0e^+e^-)_{dir} and on tan(beta) in the Two Higgs Doublet Model II.
We review the current status of calculations of the two pion decays of the kaon using the first-principles methods of lattice gauge theory and the significant challenges that these calculations pose. While a calculation with controlled errors at even
Three years after the completion of the next-to-leading order calculation, the status of the theoretical estimates of $epsilon/epsilon$ is reviewed. In spite of the theoretical progress, the prediction of $epsilon/epsilon$ is still affected by a 100%
The ratio $epsilon/epsilon$ measures the size of the direct CP violation in $K_Ltopipi$ decays $(epsilon^prime)$ relative to the indirect one described by $epsilon$ and is very sensitive to new sources of CP violation. As such it played a prominent r
I was supposed to review the status of $epsilon^prime/epsilon$ both at the CKM Workshop in September in Heidelberg and recently at the Discrete 2018 Conference in Vienna. Unfortunately I had to cancel both talks for family reasons. My main goal in th
Recently, the standard model prediction of $epsilon/epsilon$ was improved, and a discrepancy from the experimental results was reported at the $2.9sigma$ level. We study the chargino contributions to $Z$ penguin especially with the vacuum stability c
