KaonBparameter with Wilson fermions

We calculate the kaon $B$ parameter in quenched lattice QCD at $\beta =6.0\mathrm{}$ using Wilson fermions at $\kappa =0.154\mathrm{} \mathrm{and} 0.155$. We use two kinds of nonlocal ("smeared") sources for quark propagators to calculate the matrix elements between states of definite momentum. The use of smeared sources yields results with much smaller errors than obtained in previous calculations with Wilson fermions. By combining results for p=(0,0,0) and p=(0,0,1), we show that one can carry out the noperturbative subtraction necessary to remove the dominant lattice artifacts induced by the chiral-symmetry-breaking term in the Wilson action. Our final results are in good agreement with those obtained using staggered fermions. We also present results for $B$ parameters of the $\Delta I=\frac{3}{2}$ part of the electromagnetic penguin operators, and preliminary results for $B_K$ in the presence of two flavors of dynamical quarks.
