## $|V_{us}|$ 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 …

## $B$- and $D$-meson leptonic decay constants from four-flavor lattice QCD

We calculate the leptonic decay constants of heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons with charm and bottom quarks in lattice quantum chromodynamics on four-flavor QCD gauge-field configurations with dynamical u, d, s, and c quarks. We analyze over twenty …

## Up-, down-, strange-, charm-, and bottom-quark masses from four-flavor lattice QCD

We calculate the up-, down-, strange-, charm-, and bottom-quark masses using the MILC highly improved staggered-quark ensembles with four flavors of dynamical quarks. We use ensembles at six lattice spacings ranging from a≈0.15 to 0.03 fm and with …

## Strong-Isospin-Breaking Correction to the Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment from Lattice QCD at the Physical Point

All lattice-QCD calculations of the hadronic-vacuum-polarization contribution to the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment to date have been performed with degenerate up- and down-quark masses. Here we calculate directly the strong-isospin-breaking …
