Computing the Slope of the Isgur-Wise Function

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-09 v1

Abstract

We propose a method for evaluating the slope (and higher derivatives) of the Isgur-Wise function at the zero recoil point using lattice simulations. These derivatives are required for the extrapolation of the experimental data for BDlνˉB\rightarrow D^*l\bar\nu decays to the zero recoil point, from which the VcbV_{cb} element of the CKM-matrix can be determined.
