 +   <hidden TTP10-16  Epsilon-K at NNLO: The Charm-Top-Quark Contribution > We perform a next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD analysis of the  
 +charm-top-quark contribution eta_ct to the effective Delta S = 2  
 +Hamiltonian in the Standard Model. eta_ct represents an important part  
 +of the short distance contribution to the parameter epsilon_K. We 
 + calculate the three-loop anomalous dimension of the leading operator  
 +Q_S2, the three-loop mixing of the current-current and penguin  
 +operators into Q_S2, and the corresponding two-loop matching  
 +conditions at the electroweak, the bottom-quark, and the charm-quark 
 + scale. As our final numerical result we obtain eta_ct = 0.494 +/- 
 +0.046, which is roughly 7% larger than the next-to-leading-order (NLO) 
 + value eta_ct(NLO) = 0.455 +/- 0.069. This results in a prediction for 
 + epsilon_K = (1.99 +/- 0.25) x 10^(-3), which corresponds to an  
 +enhancement of approximately 3.3% with respect to the value obtained  
 +using eta_ct(NLO). </hidden>
