High Energy Physics - Lattice 2025-02-05 v2

Abstract

We present an update of our lattice QCD determination of the BcJ/ψB_c\to J/\psi vector and axial-vector form factors, including new results for the tensor form factors. We use the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action for all valence quarks, together with the second generation MILC nf=2+1+1n_f=2+1+1 HISQ gluon field configurations. This calculation includes two additional ensembles, one with physically light up and down quarks and a0.06fma\approx 0.06 \mathrm{fm} and one with a0.03fma\approx 0.03\mathrm{fm} on which we are able to reach the physical bottom quark mass. Our calculation uses nonperturbatively renormalised current operators and covers the full kinematical range of the decay. Our physical-continuum extrapolation utilises the full dispersive parameterisation for BcJ/ψB_c\to J/\psi.
