Updated evaluation of εK in the standard model with lattice QCD inputs

We report a strong tension in epsilon(K) at the 4 sigma level between the experimental value and the theoretical value calculated directly from the standard model using lattice QCD inputs such as (B) over cap (K), vertical bar V-cb vertical bar, vertical bar V-us vertical bar, xi(0), xi(2) xi(LD), F-K, and m(c). The standard model with lattice QCD inputs describes only 70% of the experimental value of QCD, and does not explain its remaining 30%. We also find that this tension disappears when we use the inclusive value of vertical bar V-cb vertical bar. (results of the heavy quark expansion based on QCD sum rules) to determine epsilon(K). This tension is highly correlated with the present discrepancy between the exclusive and inclusive values of vertical bar V-cb vertical bar In order to resolve, in part, the issue with vertical bar V-cb vertical bar, it would be highly desirable to have a comprehensive reanalysis over the entire set of experimental data on the (B) over bar -> D*I (v) over bar decays using an alternative parametrization of the form factors, such as the Boyd, Grinstein, and Lebed parametrization, and a comparison with results of the Caprini, Lellouch, and Neubert method.
