We present the current status of the computation of the form factor f+(q2) for the semi-leptonic decay Bs→Kℓν by the ALPHA collaboration. We use gauge configurations which were generated as part of the Coordinated Lattice Simulations (CLS) effort. They have Nf=2 non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions, and pion masses down to ≈250MeV with mπL≥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=21.23GeV2 extrapolated to the continuum. Next-to-leading order terms in HQET and the chiral extrapolation still need to be included in the analysis.
