Title: B*Bπ coupling using relativistic heavy quarks

Abstract

Here, we report on a calculation of the B*Bπ coupling in three-flavor lattice QCD. This coupling, defined from the strong-interaction matrix element , is related to the leading order low-energy constant in heavy meson chiral perturbation theory. We carry out our calculation directly at the b-quark mass using a nonperturbatively tuned clover action that controls discretization effects of order |$$\vec{p}$$a| and (ma)n for all n. Our analysis is performed on RBC/UKQCD gauge configurations using domain-wall fermions and the Iwasaki gauge action at two lattice spacings of a-1=1.729(25) GeV, a-1=2.281(28) GeV, and unitary pion masses down to 290 MeV. We achieve good statistical precision and control all systematic uncertainties, giving a final result for the coupling gb=0.56(3)stat(7)sys in the continuum and at the physical light-quark masses. Moreover, this is the first calculation performed directly at the physical b-quark mass and lies in the region one would expect from carrying out an interpolation between previous results at the charm mass and at the static point.
