$D$ -meson semileptonic form factors at zero momentum transfer in (2+1+1)-flavor lattice QCD

Thomas Primer, Claude Bernard, Carleton DeTar +7

We present a calculation of the $D \to K ℓ ν$ and $D \to π ℓ ν$ semileptonic form factors at $q^{2} = 0$ , which enable determinations of the CKM matrix elements $\lvert{V_{cs}}\rvert…

Decay constants $f_{B}$ and $f_{B_{s}}$ from HISQ simulations

Fermilab Lattice, MILC Collaborations, : +25

We give a progress report on a project aimed at a high-precision calculation of the decay constants $f_{B}$ and $f_{B_{s}}$ from simulations with HISQ heavy and light valence and sea q…

Electromagnetic effects on the light hadron spectrum

MILC Collaboration, S. Basak, A. Bazavov +16

For some time, the MILC Collaboration has been studying electromagnetic effects on light mesons. These calculations use fully dynamical QCD, but only quenched photons, which suffic…

Phenomenology of semileptonic B-meson decays with form factors from lattice QCD

Daping Du, A. X. El-Khadra, Steven Gottlieb +5

We study the exclusive semileptonic $B$ -meson decays $B \to K (π) ℓ^{+} ℓ^{-}$ , $B \to K (π) ν ν ˉ$ , and $B \to π τ ν$ , computing observables in the Standard model using the recent lattice…

$B \to K l^{+} l^{-}$ decay form factors from three-flavor lattice QCD

Jon A. Bailey, A. Bazavov, C. Bernard +24

We compute the form factors for the $B \to K l^{+} l^{-}$ semileptonic decay process in lattice QCD using gauge-field ensembles with 2+1 flavors of sea quark, generated by the MILC Colla…

Leptonic Decays of Charged Pseudoscalar Mesons - 2015

Jonathan L. Rosner, Sheldon Stone, Ruth S. Van de Water

We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $π^{\pm}$ , $K^{\pm}$ , $D^{\pm}$ , $D_{s}^{\pm}$ , and $B^{\pm}$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of t…

$B \to π ℓℓ$ form factors for new-physics searches from lattice QCD

Jon A. Bailey, A. Bazavov, C. Bernard +22

The rare decay $B \to π ℓ^{+} ℓ^{-}$ arises from $b \to d$ flavor-changing neutral currents and could be sensitive to physics beyond the Standard Model. Here, we present the first $ab…

The B*Bpi coupling using relativistic heavy quarks

J. M. Flynn, P. Fritzsch, T. Kawanai +5

We report on a calculation of the B*Bpi coupling in lattice QCD. The strong matrix element for a B* to Bpi transition is directly related to the leading order low-energy constant i…

The $B \to D ℓ ν$ form factors at nonzero recoil and $∣ V_{c b} ∣$ from $2 + 1$ -flavor lattice QCD

Fermilab Lattice, MILC Collaborations, : +24

We present the first unquenched lattice-QCD calculation of the hadronic form factors for the exclusive decay $B \to D ℓ ν$ at nonzero recoil. We carr…

$∣ V_{u b} ∣$ from $B \to π ℓ ν$ decays and (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD

Fermilab Lattice, MILC Collaborations, : +26

We present a lattice-QCD calculation of the $B \to π ℓ ν$ semileptonic form factors and a new determination of the CKM matrix element $∣ V_{u b} ∣$ . We use the MILC asqtad 2+1-flavor l…

Gradient flow and scale setting on MILC HISQ ensembles

MILC Collaboration, A. Bazavov, C. Bernard +11

We report on a scale determination with gradient-flow techniques on the $N_{f} = 2 + 1 + 1$ highly improved staggered quark ensembles generated by the MILC Collaboration. The ensembles inc…

Leptonic B- and D-meson decay constants with 2+1 flavors of asqtad fermions

Andreas S. Kronfeld, Ethan T. Neil, James N. Simone +1

We present the status of our updated D- and B-meson decay-constant analysis, based on the MILC $N_{f} = 2 + 1$ asqtad gauge ensembles. Heavy quarks are incorporated using the Wilson cl…

Evidence for the Higgs-boson Yukawa coupling to tau leptons with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

Results of a search for $H \to τ τ$ decays are presented, based on the full set of proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC during 2011 and 2012. The…
