Kaon B parameter from quenched domain-wall QCD

We report on a calculation of $B_K$ with domain wall fermion action in quenched QCD. Simulations are made with a renormalization group improved gauge action at $β=2.6$ and 2.9 corresponding to $a^{-1}\approx 2$GeV and 3GeV. Effects due to finite fifth dimensional size $N_5$ and finite spatial size $N_σ$ are examined in detail. Matching to the continuum operator is made perturbatively at one loop order. We obtain $B_K(μ= 2 {GeV})= 0.5746(61)$, where the error is statistical only, as an estimate of the continuum value in the $\msbar$ scheme with naive dimensional regularization. This value is smaller but consistent with $B_K(μ= 2 {GeV})= 0.628(42)$ obtained by the JLQCD Collaboration using the Kogut-Susskind quark action. Results for strange quark mass are also reported.
