Neutral B-meson mixing from three-flavor lattice QCD: Determination of the SU(3)-breaking ratio ξ

A. Bazavov, C. Bernard, C. M. Bouchard +20

We study SU(3)-breaking effects in the neutral B_d-\bar B_d and B_s-\bar B_s systems with unquenched N_f=2+1 lattice QCD. We calculate the relevant matrix elements on the MILC coll…

B and D meson decay constants from 2+1 flavor improved staggered simulations

E. T. Neil, Jon A. Bailey, A. Bazavov +21

We give an update on simulation results for the decay constants f_B, f_{B_s}, f_D and f_{D_s}. These decay constants are important for precision tests of the standard model, in par…

B- and D-meson decay constants from three-flavor lattice QCD

A. Bazavov, C. Bernard, C. M. Bouchard +20

We calculate the leptonic decay constants of B_{(s)} and D_{(s)} mesons in lattice QCD using staggered light quarks and Fermilab bottom and charm quarks. We compute the heavy-light…

Improved Semileptonic Form Factor Calculations in Lattice QCD

Richard Evans, Gunnar Bali, Sara Collins

We investigate the computational efficiency of two stochastic based alternatives to the Sequential Propagator Method used in Lattice QCD calculations of heavy-light semileptonic fo…

Tuning Fermilab Heavy Quarks in 2+1 Flavor Lattice QCD with Application to Hyperfine Splittings

C. Bernard, C. DeTar, M. Di Pierro +15

We report the non-perturbative tuning of parameters--- kappa_c, kappa_b, and kappa_crit ---that determine the heavy-quark mass in the Fermilab action. This requires the computation…

B-Bbar Mixing and Matching with Fermilab Heavy Quarks

Richard Todd Evans, Elvira Gamiz, Aida El-Khadra +1

We discuss the matching procedure for heavy-light 4-quark operators using the Fermilab method for heavy quarks and staggered fermions for light quarks. These ingredients enable us…
