Abstract

We demonstrate that in the large N approach developed by the authors in collaboration with Bardeen, the parameters B\_6^(1/2) and B\_8^(3/2) parametrizing the K\to\pimatrix elements <Q\_6>\_0 and <Q\_8>\_2 of the dominant QCD and electroweak operators receive both negative O(1/N) corrections such that B\_6^(1/2) < B\_8^(3/2)<1 in agreement with the recent lattice results of the RBC-UKQCD collaboration. We also point out that the pattern of the size of the hadronic matrix elements of all QCD and electroweak penguin operators Q\_i contributing to the Kamplitudes A\_0 and A\_2, obtained by this lattice collaboration, provides further support to our large N approach. In particular, a very precise lattice result for the matrix element <Q\_8>\_0 implies for the corresponding parameter B\_8^(1/2)=1.010.03 to be compared with large N value B\_8^(1/2)=1.10.1. We discuss briefly the implications of these findings for the ratio epsilon'/epsilon. In fact, with the precise value for B\_8^(3/2) from RBC-UKQCD collaboration, our upper bound on B\_6^(1/2) implies epsilon'/epsilon in the SM roughly by a factor of two below its experimental value (16.62.3)10^-4. We also briefly comment on the parameter B\_K and the \Delta I=1/2\$ rule.
