Standard Model parameters and heavy quarks on the lattice
نویسنده
چکیده
I review recent progresses in heavy quarks physics on the lattice. I focus on decay constants and form factors relevant for the extraction of CKM matrix elements from experimental data. B− B̄ mixing is also discussed. In the last part of the paper I describe phenomenological applications of Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) on the lattice, presenting in some detail the recent non-perturbative determination of the b-quark mass including O(1/mb) corrections.

Precision lattice QCD calculations and predictions of fundamental physics in heavy quark systems
I describe the recent success in performing accurate calculations of the effects of the strong force on particles containing bottom and charm quarks. Since quarks are never seen in isolation, and so cannot be studied directly, numerical simulations are key to understanding the properties of these particles and extracting information about the quarks. The results have direct impact on the worldw...
متن کاملQuarkonium Physics and αstrong from Quarkonia
Quarkonia serve as good testing ground for QCD and for theoretical approaches to QCD, including the lattice, due to their rich spectroscopy and decay phenomenology. Furthermore, heavyheavy and heavy-light systems, are playing a crucial role in probing the electroweak sector of the Standard Model. Hence, it is very important that we have reliable well tested methods for simulating heavy quarks. ...
متن کاملLeptonic Decays of Heavy Quarks on the Lattice
The status of lattice calculations of heavy-light decay constants and of the B parameterBB is reviewed. After describing the lattice approach to heavy quark systems, the main results are discussed, with special emphasis on the systematic errors in present lattice calculations. A detailed analysis of the continuum limit for decay constants is performed. The implications of lattice results on stu...
متن کاملStatus of heavy quark physics from the lattice
Lattice simulations provide a powerful tool to study QCD beyond perturbation theory. In particular, for quark masses around or below that of the strange quark, today’s lattices offer the possibility of very accurate and direct calculations of hadronic observables. The recent feasibility of simulating dynamical fermions (i.e. without neglecting the effects of internal quark loops) provide a sign...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Physics *
Present and future lattice calculations involving b and c quarks include some of the most important applications of lattice gauge theory to standard model physics. These include the heavy meson decay constants, the BB mixing amplitude, and various semileptonic decay amplitudes, which are all crucial in extracting CKM angles from experimental data. They also include the extraction of αs from the...
