Precise Determinations of the Decay Constants of B and D mesons
Heechang Na, Chris Monahan, Christine Davies +4
Recently we studied the B, Bs, D and Ds meson decay constants using various treatments for the heavy quark. For B mesons, we determined fB, fBs, and fBs/fB with NRQCD bottom quarks…
Direct determination of the strange and light quark condensates from full lattice QCD
C. McNeile, A. Bazavov, C. T. H. Davies +4
We determine the strange quark condensate from lattice QCD for the first time and compare its value to that of the light quark and chiral condensates. The results come from a direc…
Matching heavy-light currents with NRQCD and HISQ quarks
Christopher Monahan, Christine Davies, Ron Horgan +3
We calculate the one loop renormalisation parameters for the heavy-light axial-vector and vector currents using lattice perturbation theory. We use NonRelativistic QCD (NRQCD) heav…
D to K and D to pi semileptonic form factors from Lattice QCD
J. Koponen, C. T. H. Davies, G. Donald
We present a very high statistics study of D and D_s semileptonic decay form factors on the lattice. We work with MILC N_f=2+1 lattices and use the Highly Improved Staggered Quark…
Precision tests of the J/ψ from full lattice QCD: mass, leptonic width and radiative decay rate to η_c
G. C. Donald, C. T. H. Davies, R. J. Dowdall +5
We calculate the J/ψ mass, leptonic width and radiative decay rate to γη_c from lattice QCD including u, d and s quarks in the sea for the first time. We use the Highly Improved St…
|V_cd| from D Meson Leptonic Decays
Heechang Na, Christine T. H. Davies, Eduardo Follana +2
We present an update of the D meson decay constant f_D using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action for valence charm and light quarks on MILC N_f = 2+1 lattices. The ne…
