摘要:We present preliminary results at b = 1.95 (a = 0.077 fm) on the first unquenched Nf = 2+ 1+1 lattice computation of the BK parameter which controls the neutral kaon oscillations in the Standard Model. Using Nf = 2+1+1 maximally twisted sea quarks and Osterwalder-Seiler valence quarks we achieve O(a) improvement and a continuum-like renormalization pattern for the four-fermion operator. Our results are extrapolated/interpolated to the physical light/strange quark mass but not yet to the continuum limit. The computation of the relevant renormalization constants is performed non perturbatively in the RI’-MOM scheme using dedicated simulations with Nf = 4 degenerate sea quark flavours produced by the ETM collaboration. We get BRGI K (a =0.077) = 0.747(18), which when compared to our previous unquenched Nf =2 determination and most of the existing results, suggests a rather weak BRGI K dependence on the number of dynamical flavours. We are at the moment analysing lattice data at two additional b values which will allow us to perform an extrapolation to the continuum limit.
