Neutral B-meson mixing from full lattice QCD at the physical point

R. J. Dowdall, C. T. H. Davies, R. R. Horgan +4

We calculate the bag parameters for neutral -meson mixing in and beyond the Standard Model, in full four-flavour lattice QCD for the first time. We work on gluon field configura…

Bottomonium and B results from full lattice QCD

C. T. H. Davies, B. Colquhoun, B. Galloway +7

We have developed two methods for handling quarks in lattice QCD. One uses NRQCD (now improved to include radiative corrections) and the other uses Highly Improved Staggered Qu…

Precise charm to strange mass ratio and light quark masses from full lattice QCD

C. T. H. Davies, C. McNeile, K. Y. Wong +6

By using a single formalism to handle charm, strange and light valence quarks in full lattice QCD for the first time, we are able to determine ratios of quark masses to 1%. For $m_…
