CKM matrix: unitarity

$|V_{us}|$ from $K_{\ell 3}$ decay and four-flavor lattice QCD

Using highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) Nf=2+1+1 MILC ensembles with five different values of the lattice spacing, including four ensembles with physical quark masses, we perform the most precise computation to date of the K→πℓν vector form …

$Btextasciicircum0_(s)$-mixing matrix elements from lattice QCD for the Standard Model and beyond

We calculate—for the first time in three-flavor lattice QCD—the hadronic matrix elements of all five local operators that contribute to neutral B0- and Bs-meson mixing in and beyond the Standard Model. We present a complete error budget for each …
