Estimates of $ε\prime/ε$

We review the latest calculations of the next-to-leading $\DSone$ effective Hamiltonian, relevant for $K\to ππ$ transitions. Numerical results for the Wilson coefficients are given for different regularization schemes. Predictions of $\epse$, obtained using different approaches to evaluate the relevant hadronic matrix elements, are compared. Given the present value of the top mass, $m_t=(174\pm 17)$ GeV, all the analyses, in spite of the large theoretical uncertainties, indicate that the value of $\epse$ is smaller than $1\times 10^{-3}$.
