Determination of |V(us)|| from a lattice QCD calculation of the K → πℓν semileptonic form factor with physical quark masses.

چکیده
We calculate the kaon semileptonic form factor f+(0) from lattice QCD, working, for the first time, at the physical light-quark masses. We use gauge configurations generated by the MILC Collaboration with Nf = 2 + 1 + 1 flavors of sea quarks, which incorporate the effects of dynamical charm quarks as well as those of up, down, and strange. We employ data at three lattice spacings to extrapolate to the continuum limit. Our result, f+(0) = 0.9704(32), where the error is the total statistical plus systematic uncertainty added in quadrature, is the most precise determination to date. Combining our result with the latest experimental measurements of K semileptonic decays, one obtains the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V(us)| = 0.22290(74)(52), where the first error is from f+(0) and the second one is from experiment. In the first-row test of Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity, the error stemming from |V(us)| is now comparable to that from |V(ud)|.

Light quark masses and CKM matrix elements from lattice QCD
I give a brief overview of recent results from lattice QCD calculations which are relevant for the phenomenology of the Standard Model. I discuss, in particular, the lattice determination of light quark masses and the calculation of those hadronic quantities, such as semileptonic form factors, decay constants and B-parameters, which are of particular interest for the analysis of the CKM mixing ...
متن کاملDifferential decay rate of B → πlν semileptonic decay with lattice NRQCD
We present a lattice QCD calculation of B → πlν semileptonic decay form factors in the small pion recoil momentum region. The calculation is performed on a quenched 163 × 48 lattice at β = 5.9 with the NRQCD action including the full 1/M terms. The form factors f1(v · kπ) and f2(v · kπ) defined in the heavy quark effective theory for which the heavy quark scaling is manifest are adpoted, and we...

We present our study on B → πlν semileptonic decay form factors using NRQCD action for heavy quark. In the analysis, we use the form factors f1(v · kπ) and f2(v · kπ) defined in the context of heavy quark effective theory by Burdman et al.. Since the NRQCD action for heavy quark respects the heavy quark symmetry, our results are described by the HQET form factors most naturally. From a quenched...

We calculate the form factor f+(q 2) for B-meson semileptonic decay in unquenched lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors of light sea quarks. We use Asqtad-improved staggered light quarks and a Fermilab bottom quark on gauge configurations generated by the MILC Collaboration. We simulate with several light quark masses and at two lattice spacings, and extrapolate to the physical quark mass and continuum ...
متن کاملB → πlν at zero recoil from lattice QCD with physical u=d quarks
The exclusive semileptonic decay B → πlν is a key process for the determination of the CabibboKobayashi-Maskawa matrix element Vub from the comparison of experimental rates as a function of q with theoretically determined form factors. The sensitivity of the form factors to the u=d quark mass has meant significant systematic uncertainties in lattice QCD calculations at unphysically heavy pion m...
