FLAG: Lattice QCD Tests of the Standard Model and Foretaste for Beyond

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2015-09-04 v1

Abstract

After a short presentation of the FLAG collaboration, we review lattice results related to pion, KK-, DD- and BB-meson physics with the aim of making them easily accessible to the particle-physics community. Only a selection of FLAG averages or estimates is presented. For light flavours, we present results on the form factor f+(0)f_+(0), arising in semileptonic KπK \rightarrow \pi transition at zero momentum transfer, as well as the decay-constants fK,fπf_K,f_\pi and their ratio. The consequences of these results for the CKM matrix elements Vus|V_{us}| and Vud|V_{ud}| are discussed. For heavy flavours we focus on DD- and BB-meson decay constants and form factors, as well as the CKM matrix elements Vcs|V_{cs}|, Vcd|V_{cd}| and Vub|V_{ub}|. In addition we briefly cover the recent advances stemming from the calculation the BKB_K-parameters and touch upon related current results relevant to the Physics beyond the Standard Model, which will be the subject of the next FLAG edition.
