Achieving 10-20% uncertainty is a realistic goal but requires: –High Statistics: computer resources from USQCD, XSEDE, LANL –Controlling all Systematic Errors: Finite volume effects Contamination from excited states Chiral Extrapolations to physical u and d quark masses →Extrapolation to the continuum limit (lattice spacing a → 0) Non-perturbative renormalization of bilinears using the RI smom scheme n p × n p × n p × Lattice QCD calculation of OiqOiq n p × Isolate the neutron e -M n τ Project on the proton e -M p τ u d u u dd 5

Findings at a=0.12 fm with M π =310, 220 MeV Statistical analysis of ~1000 configurations and as 2 subsets of ~500 configurations – All three estimates consistent within 1–2 σ – Errors of the 2 subsets ~√2 larger than the full set – Variation in g Γ between 2 subsets ≈ Δt dependence – Signal improves as a → 0 12 Need > 4x1000 configurations before t sep dependence, chiral and continuum extrapolations can be resolved & estimated to give g S to 10%
13
Excited States Statistics & better interpolating operators –Improve overlap with ground state of (p,n) operators Simulations at many Δt –Needed to eliminate excited state contribution 13 np × nn Δt =t f - t i =t p - t n Γ(t)
14
Signal in the ratio 14 The calculation of g S will dictate the statistics needed One-state versus two-state fit
15
Scalar channel g S : Signal versus Δt, t 15 Δt = 8 9 10 11 12 Δt=10 (~1.2 fm) is the best compromise 1013 conf

Renormalization of bilinear operators Non-perturbative renormalization Z Γ using the RI-sMOM scheme – Need quark propagator in momentum space Results – 101 lattices at a=0.12 fm M π =310 – 60 lattices at a=0.12 fm M π =220 22 × Γ > >

Z S ( in MS scheme at 2 GeV ) 24 M π = 310 MeV 220 MeV
25
Z T ( in MS scheme at 2 GeV) 25 M π = 310 MeV 220 MeV
26
Renormalization constants Z Γ Largest uncertainty: – O(a) errors due to full rotational symmetry → cubic symmetry – Examine p 4 versus (p 2 ) 2 behavior Data show (~0.05) variation at fixed p 2 Z A, Z S and Z T are all between 0.95–1.0 with < 1% error – HYP smearing brings the Z Γ close to unity Z Γ → 1 as a → 0 26

Continuum extrapolation Need estimates at a = 0.12, 0.09, 0.06 fm to perform a continuum extrapolation of renormalized charges (g R = g bare × Z) Will need >1000 configurations at a=0.12, 0.09 and 0.06 fm to quantify if g S and g T have significant a dependence and get estimates with 10% uncertainty 29
30
Summary GOAL: To use experimental measurements of b and b-b ν at the 10 -3 level to bound ε S and ε T requires calculation of g T and g S at the 10-20% level 2011: Lattice QCD estimates of g S and g T improved the bounds on ε S and ε T compared to previous estimates based on phenomenological models 2013: Lattice calculations are on track to providing g T and g S with 10-20% uncertainty 30
31
β-decay versus LHC constraints 31 LHC @ 14TeV and 300fb -1, will provide comparable constraints to low-energy ones with δg S /g S ~15%
