Abstract

We report our ongoing lattice QCD study of radiative leptonic decays of the charged pseudoscalar mesons DD, DsD_s, BB, and BcνγB_c \to \ell \nu_\ell \gamma. We carry out our analysis on a single JLQCD ensemble with lattice spacing a=0.044 fma=0.044~\text{fm}. This work is a step towards a complete QCD+QED lattice calculation of these modes, aimed at reducing theoretical uncertainties in the extraction of Vcd|V_{cd}| and Vcs|V_{cs}| and providing first-principles estimates of the corresponding form factors in the BB sector.
