    Abstract: The first lattice result for direct CP violation in K→ππ decay in the Standard Model published by RBC/UKQCD in 2015 is desired to be more precise to see the deviation from the experimental value more clearly.  In this talk, I will overview RBC/UKQCD’s calculation of K→ππ matrix elements mentioning a particular error source: Since RBC/UKQCD calculated the matrix elements with the four-quark operators without the charm quark, we need the corresponding Wilson coefficients in the three-flavor theory, which can be obtained by converting from the four-flavor theory.

    Perturbative matching may result in a significant uncertainty since it needs to be done below charm threshold.  To resolve this problem, we are trying to do this matching in a non-perturbative prescription using lattice QCD.  I will explain the strategy of the matching and show some results of an exploratory calculation.
