Kaon leptonic and semileptonic decays with HISQ fermions
Ramón Merino, Alexei Bazavov, Claude W. Bernard +9
Precision tests of the Standard Model (SM) currently show a deficit in first-row Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) unitarity. In this talk, we discuss progress towards a correlated a…

High-Precision Scale Setting with the Omega-Baryon Mass and Gradient Flow
Alexei Bazavov, Claude W. Bernard, David A. Clarke +23
The gradient-flow scale in lattice QCD is determined using the mass of the baryon to set the physical scale. Nine ensembles using the highly improved staggered quark (…

Hadronic vacuum polarization for the muon from lattice QCD: Long-distance and full light-quark connected contribution
Alexei Bazavov, Claude W. Bernard, David A. Clarke +22
We present results for the dominant light-quark connected contribution to the long-distance window (LD) of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution (HVP) to the muon fro…
