Lattice simulations of B→πlν decays are problematic in the low q2 region when the pion has to have large momentum in the lattice frame for a B meson at rest or moving slowly. The moving-NRQCD formalism provides a way around this by giving an accurate discretization of a b quark moving at arbitrary velocity v, and therefore a B meson moving at high momentum in the lattice frame. Here we show results from simulations of the moving-NRQCD action complete through O(1/M) coupled to the asqtad action on a MILC fine ensemble. We show B, B∗ masses as a function of v and demonstrate how to determine the meson kinetic mass and the renormalization of v non-perturbatively. We will also discuss the perturbative renormalization of the moving-NRQCD action from high-β Monte Carlo simulations.
