Abstract

We present the status of on-going calculations of the KπlνK\to\pi l\nu and DK(π)lνD\to K(\pi) l\nu semileptonic form factors at q2=0q^2=0. These form factors are important for the determination of the CKM matrix elements Vus\lvert{V_{us}}\rvert and Vcs(d)\lvert{V_{cs(d)}}\rvert respectively. This work uses the HISQ action for both valence quarks and sea quarks on MILC Nf=2+1+1N_f=2+1+1 configurations. We employ twisted boundary conditions to calculate the form factors at zero momentum transfer directly. The KπK\to\pi results are an update to previously published results with new data at the physical point. The DK(π)D\to K(\pi) results are preliminary.
