abstract

We present a determination of the ratio of kaon and pion leptonic decay constants in isosymmetric QCD (isoQCD), $f_K / f_\pi$, making use of the gauge ensembles produced by the Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC) with $N_f = 2 + 1 + 1$ flavors of Wilson-clover twisted-mass quarks, including configurations close to the physical point for all dynamical flavors. The simulations are carried out at three values of the lattice spacing ranging from $\sim 0.068$ to $\sim 0.092$ fm with linear lattice size up to $L \sim 5.5$~fm. The scale is set by the PDG value of the pion decay constant, $f_\pi^{isoQCD} = 130.4~(2)$ MeV, at the isoQCD pion point, $M_\pi^{isoQCD} = 135.0~(2)$ MeV, obtaining for the gradient-flow (GF) scales the values $w_0 = 0.17383~(63)$ fm, $\sqrt{t_0} = 0.14436~(61)$ fm and $t_0 / w_0 = 0.11969~(62)$ fm. The data are analyzed within the framework of SU(2) Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) without resorting to the use of renormalized quark masses. At the isoQCD kaon point $M_K^{isoQCD} = 494.2~(4)$ MeV we get $(f_K / f_\pi)^{isoQCD} = 1.1995~(44)$, where the error includes both statistical and systematic uncertainties. Implications for the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $|V_{us}|$ and for the first-row CKM unitarity are discussed.

  1. Inclusive $\bar B_s\mapsto X_{\bar sc} \ell \bar \nu$ decays from lattice QCD: computational strategy and a first physical result

    hep-lat 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Lattice QCD strategy interpolates sub-physical mass data with OPE to obtain the inclusive anti-B_s to X_sc l nu decay rate, yielding 7% precision on limited ETMC ensembles via a new four-point correlator method.

  2. Rare kaon decays $K^- \to \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell \ell'^{+} \ell'^{-}$: Standard Model predictions from lattice QCD

    hep-ph 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Lattice QCD supplies Standard Model branching-fraction predictions for all four K to l nu l' l' channels with controlled uncertainties of 2-7 percent, consistent with published data and preliminary NA62 results.

  3. Impact of Dynamical Charm Quark and Mixed Action Effect on Light Hadron Masses and Decay Constants

    hep-lat 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A dynamical charm quark does not measurably change light-hadron masses or decay constants, and a clover-on-HISQ mixed action reduces O(a^2) discretization errors in the continuum limit.

  4. BMW/DMZ calculation of the hadronic vacuum polarisation for the muon magnetic moment

    hep-lat 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A hybrid lattice-QCD plus e+e- data determination of the hadronic vacuum polarisation gives a Standard Model muon g-2 prediction 0.5σ from experiment, at 0.45% precision.

  5. $F_K/F_\pi$ as a precision test of a new four flavor Domain Wall Fermion action

    hep-lat 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    New four-flavor smeared Möbius Domain Wall Fermion ensembles yield F_K/F_pi = 1.1962(34) as a precision test for inexpensive chiral fermion calculations in lattice QCD.

  6. $CP$ violation in neutral kaon mixing in $D^0\rightarrow K_SK_S$

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Neutral kaon mixing adds a CP-violating effect of order 10^{-6} to a_CP in D0 -> Ks Ks, arising only from second-order weak processes and thus negligible for experiments.

    The FLAG 2024 review provides updated averages of lattice QCD determinations for quark masses, decay constants, form factors, mixing parameters, and nucleon matrix elements.
