Semileptonic form factor ratio B_s->D_s/B->D and its application to BR(B^0_s->\mu^+\mu^-)

We present a (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD calculation of the form factor ratio between the semileptonic decays $\bar{B}^0_s \to D^+_sl^-\bar{\nu}$ and $\bar{B}^0 \to D^+l^-\bar{\nu}$. This ratio is an important theoretical input to the hadronic determination of the $B$ meson fragmentation fraction ratio $f_s/f_d$ which enters in the measurement of $\mathrm{BR}(B^0_s\to \mu^+\mu^-)$. Small lattice spacings and high statistics enable us to simulate the decays with a dynamic final $D$ meson of small momentum and reliably extract the hadronic matrix elements at nonzero recoil. We report our preliminary result for the form factor ratio at the corresponding momentum transfer of the two decays $f_0^{(s)}(M^2_\pi)/f_0^{(d)}(M^2_K)$.
