B meson decays from moving-NRQCD on fine MILC lattices

Abstract

Lattice simulations of BπlνB\to\pi l\nu decays are problematic in the low q2q^{2} region when the pion has to have large momentum in the lattice frame for a BB meson at rest or moving slowly. The moving-NRQCD formalism provides a way around this by giving an accurate discretization of a bb quark moving at arbitrary velocity vv, and therefore a BB 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)O(1/M) coupled to the asqtad action on a MILC fine ensemble. We show BB, BB^{*} masses as a function of vv and demonstrate how to determine the meson kinetic mass and the renormalization of vv non-perturbatively. We will also discuss the perturbative renormalization of the moving-NRQCD action from high-β\beta Monte Carlo simulations.
