Continuum-Limit HQET LCDAs from Lattice QCD for Tightening B Decay Uncertainties

Heavy meson HQET light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) are critical for precision predictions of $B$ meson weak decays, but currently are one of dominant theoretical uncertainties that obscure interpretations of $B$ anomalies and CP-violating measurements. Building on the established HQLaMET framework, supplemented by lattice QCD calculations of the OPE moments, we present a precise lattice QCD calculation of HQET LCDAs by employing multi-ensemble simulations for continuum and physical pion mass extrapolation, quantifying comprehensive systematic errors, and validating results through OPE moment cross-validation. Details of the lattice calculations are provided in a companion paper \cite{HeavymesonDA_long_paper}. Our final results for key inverse moments (at $\mu=1$ GeV) are $\lambda_B=0.340(20)$ GeV and $\sigma_B^{(1)}=1.685(63)$, with the total uncertainty reduced by a factor of three relative to the previous analysis. These results can greatly reduce the uncertainty in the $B \to K^*$ form factors in the large-recoil region. This work resolves the long-standing bottleneck in first-principles predictions of heavy meson LCDAs, advancing precision flavor physics to new frontiers.
