Semileptonic decays of d mesons in three-flavor lattice QCD.

چکیده
We present the first three-flavor lattice QCD calculations for D-->pilnu and D-->Klnu semileptonic decays. Simulations are carried out using ensembles of unquenched gauge fields generated by the MILC Collaboration. With an improved staggered action for light quarks, we are able to simulate at light quark masses down to 1/8 of the strange mass. Consequently, the systematic error from the chiral extrapolation is much smaller than in previous calculations with Wilson-type light quarks. Our results for the form factors at q(2)=0 are f(D-->pi)(+)(0)=0.64(3)(6) and f(D-->K)(+)(0)=0.73(3)(7), where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic, added in quadrature. Combining our results with experimental branching ratios, we obtain the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements |V(cd)|=0.239(10)(24)(20) and |V(cs)|=0.969(39)(94)(24), where the last errors are from experimental uncertainties.

متن کاملSemileptonic Form Factors of Heavy-light Mesons from Lattice Qcd
The form factors for the semileptonic decays of heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons of the type D ! Kee are studied in quenched lattice QCD at = 6:0 using Wilson fermions. We explore new numerical techniques for improving the signal and study O(a) corrections using three diierent lattice transcriptions of the vector current. We present a detailed discussion of the relation of these lattice currents...

In this section, we discuss some of the key questions related to semileptonic decays of B mesons: the inclusive semileptonic branching fraction, the determination of jV cb j and jV ub j from inclusive and exclusive measurements, recent progress in exclusive semileptonic decays, and form factor measurements and tests of heavy-quark eeective theory. We emphasize the uncertainties that arise in ex...
