Description

We describe our study of the chromomagnetic operator O_CM, which appears in the effective Hamiltonian describing DS=1 transitions in and beyond the Standard Model. Having dimension 5, the chromomagnetic operator is characterized by a rich pattern of mixing with other operators of equal and lower dimensionality. We have computed the coefficients of the mixing with the various dimension 5 operators using one loop lattice perturbation theory and determined the power-divergent mixing coefficient with the scalar density non-perturbatively. The numerical computations have been carried out by using the gauge configurations produced by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration with Nf = 2 + 1 + 1 dynamical quarks, at three values of the lattice spacing and several values of the light quark masses. In this talk, we will mainly describe the non-perturbative parts of the calculation and present preliminary results for the matrix element of the chromomagnetic operator between pion and kaon states.
