Abstract

We present the current status of the computation of the form factor f+(q2)f_+ (q^2) for the semi-leptonic decay BsKν\mathrm B_\mathrm s \to \mathrm K \ell \nu by the ALPHA collaboration. We use gauge configurations which were generated as part of the Coordinated Lattice Simulations (CLS) effort. They have Nf=2N_\mathrm f=2 non-perturbatively O(a)O(a) improved Wilson fermions, and pion masses down to 250MeV\approx 250 \,\mathrm {MeV} with mπL4m_\pi L \geq 4. The heavy quark is treated in non-perturbative Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET). We discuss how to extract the form factors from the correlation functions and present first results for the form factor at q2=21.23GeV2q^2 = 21.23\,\mathrm{GeV}^2 extrapolated to the continuum. Next-to-leading order terms in HQET and the chiral extrapolation still need to be included in the analysis.
