Title: New methods for $B$ meson decay constants and form factors from lattice NRQCD

Abstract

We determine the normalization of scalar and pseudoscalar current operators made from nonrelativistic b quarks and highly improved staggered light quarks in lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) through O(α_s) and Λ_QCD/m_b. We use matrix elements of these operators to extract B meson decay constants and form factors, and then compare to those obtained using the standard vector and axial-vector operators. This provides a test of systematic errors in the lattice QCD determination of the B meson decay constants and form factors. We provide a new value for the B and B_s meson decay constants from lattice QCD calculations on ensembles that include u, d, s, and c quarks in the sea and those that have the u/d quark mass going down to its physical value. Our results are f_B=0.196(6) GeV, f_{B_s}=0.236(7) GeV, and f_{B_s}/f_B=1.207(7), agreeing well with earlier results using the temporal axial current. By combining with these previous results, we provide updated values of f_B=0.190(4) GeV, f_{B_s}=0.229(5) GeV, and f_{B_s}/f_B=1.206(5).

Nonperturbative comparison of clover and highly improved staggered quarks in lattice QCD and the properties of the $Φ$ meson

Journal Article Chakraborty, Bipasha ; Davies, C. T. H. ; Donald, G. C. ; ... - Physical Review D

Here, we compare correlators for pseudoscalar and vector mesons made from valence strange quarks using the clover quark and highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) formalisms in full lattice QCD. We use fully nonperturbative methods to normalise vector and axial vector current operators made from HISQ quarks, clover quarks and from combining HISQ and clover fields. This allows us to test expectations for the renormalisation factors based on perturbative QCD, with implications for the error budget of lattice QCD calculations of the matrix elements of clover-staggeredmore »« less

Journal Article Christ, Norman H. ; Flynn, Jonathan M. ; Izubuchi, Taku ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

We calculate the B-meson decay constants f_B, f_{B_s}, and their ratio in unquenched lattice QCD using domain-wall light quarks and relativistic b quarks. We use gauge-field ensembles generated by the RBC and UKQCD collaborations using the domain-wall fermion action and Iwasaki gauge action with three flavors of light dynamical quarks. We analyze data at two lattice spacings of a ≈ 0.11, 0.086 fm with unitary pion masses as light as M_π ≈ 290 MeV; this enables us to control the extrapolation to the physical light-quark masses and continuum. For the b quarks we use the anisotropic clover action with themore »« less

Charm as a domain wall fermion in quenched lattice QCD

Journal Article Lin, H -W ; Ohta, Shigemi ; The Graduate University for Advanced Studies ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We report a study describing the charm quark by a domain-wall fermion (DWF) in lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Our study uses a quenched gauge ensemble with the DBW2 rectangle-improved gauge action at a lattice cutoff of a{sup -1}{approx}3 GeV. We calculate masses of heavy-light (charmed) and heavy-heavy (charmonium) mesons with spin-parity J{sup P}=0{sup {+-}} and 1{sup {+-}}, leptonic decay constants of the charmed pseudoscalar mesons (D and D{sub s}), and the D{sup 0}-D{sup 0} mixing parameter. The charm quark mass is found to be m{sub c}{sup MS}(m{sub c})=1.24(1){sub stat}(18){sub syst} GeV. The mass splittings in charmed-meson parity partners {delta}{sub q,J=0}more »« less

Precise B, B{sub s}, and B{sub c} meson spectroscopy from full lattice QCD

Journal Article Gregory, Eric B ; Department of Physics, University of Cyprus, P.O. Box 20357, 1678 Nicosia ; Davies, Christine T. H. ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We give the first accurate results for B and B{sub s} meson masses from lattice QCD including the effect of u, d, and s sea quarks, and we improve an earlier value for the B{sub c} meson mass. By using the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action for u/d, s, and c quarks and NRQCD for the b quarks, we are able to achieve an accuracy in the masses of around 10 MeV. Our results are: m{sub B}=5.291(18) GeV, m{sub B{sub s}}=5.363(11) GeV, and m{sub B{sub c}}=6.280(10) GeV. Note that all QCD parameters here are tuned from other calculations, somore »« less
