Abstract

We present results for ϵk, the indirect CP violation parameter, calculated in the Standard Model using inputs from lattice QCD: the kaon bag parameter Bk, and the CKM matrix element Vcb from the axial current form factor for the exclusive decay B → Dlv at zero-recoil. In addition, we take the coordinates of the unitarity triangle apex (p, η) from the angle-only fit of the UTfit Collaboration and use Vus to fix λ. In order to estimate the systematic error, we also use Wolfenstein parameters from the CKMfitter and UTfit. We find a 3.3(2)σ difference between ψk and experiment with exclusive Vcb. We report details of this preliminary result.
