Abstract

We present a program to study D semi-leptonic decay form factors with HISQ charm and light quarks. In this exploratory work, we study DsD_s to ηs\eta_s, lνll\nu_l semi-leptonic decay on MILC coarse (203×6420^3\times64) gauge configurations with 2+1 dynamical flavors. We develop a new method to calculate f+(0)f_+(0) and f0(q2)f_0(q^2) from scalar current matrix elements, <πsˉcD><\pi|\bar{s}c|D>, which does not require any operator renormalization. We also determine f+(q2)f_+(q^2) and f0(q2)f_0(q^2) from vector currents with a fully non-perturbative renormalization method.
