$B\to D^{\ast }\ell \nu$ at non-zero recoil

Abstract

We present preliminary blinded results from our analysis of the form factors for $B\to D^{\ast }\ell \nu$ decay at non-zero recoil. Our analysis includes 15 MILC asqtad ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ flavors of sea quarks and lattice spacings ranging from $a\approx 0.15$ fm down to $0.045$ fm. The valence light quarks employ the asqtad action, whereas the $b$ and $c$ quarks are treated using the Fermilab action. We discuss the impact that our results will have on $\left|V_{cb}\right|$ and $R(D^{\ast })$.
