$B_s$ to $K \ell \nu$ decay from lattice QCD

We use lattice QCD to calculate the form factors f+(q2) and f0(q2) for the semileptonic decay Bs→Kℓν. Our calculation uses six MILC asqtad 2+1 flavor gauge-field ensembles with three lattice spacings. At the smallest and largest lattice spacing the …

$Bto Kltextasciicircum+ltextasciicircum-$ Decay Form Factors from Three-Flavor Lattice QCD

We compute the form factors for the B→Kl+l- semileptonic decay process in lattice QCD using gauge-field ensembles with 2+1 flavors of sea quark, generated by the MILC Collaboration. The ensembles span lattice spacings from 0.12 to 0.045 fm and have …

B→Dℓν form factors at nonzero recoil and textbarV$_b̧$textbar from 2+1-flavor lattice QCD

We present the first unquenched lattice-QCD calculation of the hadronic form factors for the exclusive decay B¯→Dℓν¯ at nonzero recoil. We carry out numerical simulations on 14 ensembles of gauge-field configurations generated with 2+1 flavors of …

$textbarV_ubtextbar$ from $Btopiellnu$ decays and (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD

We present a lattice-QCD calculation of the B→πℓν semileptonic form factors and a new determination of the CKM matrix element textbarVubtextbar. We use the MILC asqtad (2+1)-flavor lattice configurations at four lattice spacings and light-quark …
