B and D Mesons in Lattice QCD

arXiv:hep-ph/0010074

Abstract

Computational and theoretical developments in lattice QCD calculations of B and D mesons are surveyed. Several topical examples are given: new ideas for calculating the HQET parameters \barΛ and λ_1; form factors needed to determine |V_{cb}| and |V_{ub}|; bag parameters for the mass differences of the B mesons; and decay constants. Prospects for removing the quenched approximation are discussed.
