Improved Currents for Heavy Quarks

Abstract

We discuss lattice artifacts for matrix elements of hadrons containing one or more heavy quark. In particular, we analyze interrelations between lattice artifacts and the $1/m_Q$ expansion. The implications for calculations of heavy-light decay constants and of semi-leptonic form factors are discussed.
