## $Btextasciicircum0_(s)$-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 …

## $Btopiellell$ form factors for new-physics searches from lattice QCD

The rare decay B→πℓ+ℓ- arises from b→d flavor-changing neutral currents and could be sensitive to physics beyond the standard model. Here, we present the first ab initio QCD calculation of the B→π tensor form factor fT. Together with the vector and …

## 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 …

## Maximum-Likelihood Approach to Topological Charge Fluctuations in Lattice Gauge Theory

We present a novel technique for the determination of the topological susceptibility (related to the variance of the distribution of global topological charge) from lattice gauge theory simulations, based on maximum-likelihood analysis of the …

## Determination of $textbarV_ustextbar$ from a Lattice-QCD Calculation of the $Ktopiellnu$ Semileptonic Form Factor with Physical Quark Masses

We calculate the kaon semileptonic form factor $f_+(0)$ from lattice QCD, working, for the first time, at the physical light-quark masses. We use gauge configurations generated by the MILC collaboration with $N_f=2+1+1$ flavors of sea quarks, which …
