Remark on the Theoretical Uncertainty in $B^0$-$\bar{B}^0$ Mixing

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2016-09-01 v1

Abstract

We re-examine the theoretical uncertainty in the Standard Model expression for B0B^0-Bˉ0\bar{B}^0 mixing. We focus on lattice calculations of the ratio ξ\xi, needed to relate the oscillation frequency of Bs0B^0_s-Bˉs0\bar{B}^0_s mixing to VtdV_{td}. We replace the usual linear chiral extrapolation with one that includes the logarithm that appears in chiral perturbation theory. We find a significant shift in the ratio ξ\xi, from the conventional 1.15±0.051.15\pm0.05 to ξ=1.32±0.10\xi=1.32\pm0.10.
