Partial compositeness and baryon matrix elements on the lattice

Partial compositeness is a mechanism for the generation of fermion masses which replaces a direct Higgs coupling to the fermions by a linear mixing with heavy composite partners. We present the first calculation of the relevant matrix element in a …

Neutral B-meson mixing from three-flavor lattice QCD: Determination of the SU(3)-breaking ratio xi

We study SU(3)-breaking effects in the neutral B_d-bar B_d and B_s-bar B_s systems with unquenched N_f=2+1 lattice QCD. We calculate the relevant matrix elements on the MILC collaboration's gauge configurations with asqtad-improved staggered sea …
