Gradient Flow Renormalization Schemes for Composite Fermion Operators

Matthew Black, Anna Hasenfratz, Oliver Witzel

We introduce gradient flow (GF) normalization prescriptions for fermionic composite operators in which the flowed fermion wavefunction renormalization factor is fixed nonperturbati…

Heavy-Meson Bag Parameters using Gradient Flow

Matthew Black, Robert V. Harlander, Jonas T. Kohnen +4

We demonstrate the use of the gradient flow combined with the short flow-time expansion (GF+SFTX) as a renormalization procedure for four-quark operator matrix elements and associa…

Bag Parameters for Heavy Meson Lifetimes

Matthew Black, Robert V. Harlander, Jonas T. Kohnen +4

We calculate the dimension-six four-quark matrix elements describing heavy-meson lifetime ratios using the gradient flow with its short flow-time expansion as a renormaliza…

Renormalized quark masses using gradient flow

Matthew Black, Robert V. Harlander, Anna Hasenfratz +2

We propose a new and simple method for determining the renormalized quark masses from lattice simulations. Renormalized quark masses are an important input to many phenomenological…

Extracting form factors

Anastasia Boushmelev, Matthew Black, Oliver Witzel

Semileptonic decays are of great phenomenological interest because they allow to determine e.g. CKM matrix elements or test lepton flavor universality. Taking advantage o…

scattering as a step towards from Lattice QCD

Felix Erben, Matthew Black, Peter Boyle +7

Rare decays provide some of the most sensitive tests of the Standard Model and require precise and systematically improvable hadronic input from lattice QCD. F…
