چکیده

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 limit using heavy-light meson staggered chiral perturbation theory. We then fit the lattice result for f+(q 2) simultaneously with that measured by the BABAR experiment using a parameterization of the form factor shape in q2 which relies only on analyticity and unitarity in order to determine the CKM matrix element |Vub|. This approach reduces the total uncertainty in |Vub| by combining the lattice and experimental information in an optimal, model-independent manner. We find a value of |Vub| × 103 = 3.38 ± 0.35. PACS numbers: 12.15.Hh, 12.38.Gc, 13.20.He

Lattice QCD Calculations of Nucleon Properties at the Intensity Frontier

During the past decade, lattice QCD has made substantial progress in several areas that influence particle physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. Once enough computing and algorithmic power became available to treat virtual quark-antiquark pairs (the “sea” quarks) realistically, the results of lattice-QCD calculations rapidly reproduced a wide variety of hadron properties [1]. The same tec...

Status of Charm Flavor Physics

The role of charm in testing the Standard Model description of quark mixing and CP violation through measurements of lifetimes, decay constants and semileptonic form factors is reviewed. Together with Lattice QCD, charm has the potential this decade to maximize the sensitivity of the entire flavor physics program to new physics. and pave the way for understanding physics beyond the Standard Mod...

Semileptonic 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...

The Semileptonic Decays B → πlν and D → πlν from Lattice QCD Aida

We present a lattice QCD calculation of the form factors and differential decay rates for semileptonic decays of the heavy-light mesons B and D to the final state πlν. The results are obtained with three methodological improvements over previous lattice calculations: a matching procedure that reduces heavyquark lattice artifacts, the first study of lattice-spacing dependence, and the introducti...
