Lattice QCD and Flavor Physics

Abstract

Now that lattice QCD simulations are able to include effects of light sea quarks, the prospects are good for constraining quark flavor phenomenology. This review talk for particle physics experimentalists begins with an introduction intended to describe broadly the steps of lattice Monte Carlo simulations. The remainder of the talk is a brief survey of recent and ongoing calculations relevant for quark flavor physics.

Invited talk presented at the XXIV Physics in Collision Conference (PIC04), Boston, USA, June 2004, 14 pages. PSN TUET01
