Leptonic Decays of Heavy Quarks on the Lattice
The status of lattice calculations of heavy-light decay constants and of the B parameterBB is reviewed. After describing the lattice approach to heavy quark systems, the main results are discussed, with special emphasis on the systematic errors in present lattice calculations. A detailed analysis of the continuum limit for decay constants is performed. The implications of lattice results on stu...
متن کاملStatus of heavy quark physics from the lattice
Lattice simulations provide a powerful tool to study QCD beyond perturbation theory. In particular, for quark masses around or below that of the strange quark, today’s lattices offer the possibility of very accurate and direct calculations of hadronic observables. The recent feasibility of simulating dynamical fermions (i.e. without neglecting the effects of internal quark loops) provide a sign...
متن کاملHeavy Quarks in the Quark-gluon Plasma
Heavy-flavor particles are believed to provide valuable probes of the medium produced in ultrarelativistic collisions of heavy nuclei. In this article we review recent progress in our understanding of the interactions of charm and bottom quarks in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). For individual heavy quarks, we focus on elastic interactions for which the large quark mass enables a Brownian motion ...
متن کاملGlueballs and Hybrid Mesons
The status of non-perturbative QCD calculations for mesons with gluonic excitation is presented. Lattice results for the glueball spectrum are reviewed. For hybrid mesons, the heavy quark results are summarised and new results are presented for light quarks. Preliminary results for the spectrum of light-quark hybrid mesons indicate substantial mixing with quark model states for non-exotic J . F...
متن کاملSemileptonic Decays of Heavy Mesons: a Status Report *
We present intermediate results on our ongoing investigation concerning semileptonic decays of heavy pseu-doscalar mesons into pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The corresponding formfactors are evaluated at several momenta and appropriate combinations of four light and four heavy quarks, which are chosen to allow for an extrapolation into the B Meson region. In order to obtain clear groundstate ...
