B_K with two flavors of dynamical overlap fermions

Abstract
We present a two-flavor QCD calculation of $B_K$ on a $16^3 \times 32$ lattice at $a\sim 0.12$ fm (or equivalently $a^{-1}\sim$1.67 GeV). Both valence and sea quarks are described by the overlap fermion formulation. The matching factor is calculated non-perturbatively with the so-called RI/MOM scheme. We find that the lattice data are well described by the next-to-leading order (NLO) partially quenched chiral perturbation theory (PQChPT) up to around a half of the strange quark mass ($m_s^{\rm phys}/2$). The data at quark masses heavier than $m_s^{\rm phys}/2$ are fitted including a part of next-to-next-to-leading order terms. We obtain $B_K^{\bar{\rm MS}}(2 {\rm GeV})= 0.537(4)(40)$, where the first error is statistical and the second is an estimate of systematic uncertainties from finite volume, fixing topology, the matching factor, and the scale setting.
