We analyze possible interpretations of the recent LHCb evidence for CP violation in D meson decays in terms of physics beyond the Standard Model. On general grounds, models in which the primary source of flavor violation is linked to the…

The focus of this report is the lattice calculation of hadronic parameters relevant to heavy flavour phenomenology. I will review recent results and the current status of studies of the B and D decay constants, semileptonic decay form…

The top quark plays an important role in a number of new physics models, some of which introduce violations to some of the accidental symmetries of the SM, such as the lepton number conservation or introduce additional sources of others…

We give a brief overview and progress report on our lattice QCD calculation of neutral B mixing hadronic matrix elements needed for Standard Model and Beyond the Standard Model physics. Reference [1] contains more details and results.

In the standard model (SM), the CP violation is introduced through a single phase in the CKM matrix. The neutral kaon system is one of the most precise channels to test how the SM theory describes the experiment data such as $\epsilon_K$…

We present a polynomial hybrid Monte Carlo (PHMC) algorithm for lattice QCD with odd numbers of flavors of O(a)-improved Wilson quark action. The algorithm makes use of the non-Hermitian Chebyshev polynomial to approximate the inverse…

The first exploratory calculations of QCD vacuum correlation functions on a lattice are reported. Qualitative agreement with phenomenological results is obtained in channels for which experimental data are available, and these correlation…

The strong coupling constant alpha_s(mu_0), taken at a fixed reference scale mu_0, is the single free parameter of QCD and should be known to the highest available precision. The value of alpha_s should also be determined with good accuracy…

We propose a new formulation of lattice theory. It is given by a matrix form and suitable for satisfying Leibniz rule on lattice. The theory may be interpreted as a multi-flavor system. By realizing the difference operator as a commutator,…

Flavor singlet combinations of quark operators ${\cal{O}}_S^{\Gamma} = \bar{u}\Gamma u + \bar{d}\Gamma d + \bar{s}\Gamma s$ contribute to many important physical observables in the low energy region of QCD. Experimentally one finds the…

We report on the status of the dynamical overlap QCD simulation project by the JLQCD collaboration. After completing two-flavor QCD simulation on a 16^3x32 lattice at lattice spacing a 0.12 fm, we started a series of runs with 2+1 flavors.…

We use lattice QCD to predict the mass of the $B_c$ meson. We use the MILC Collaboration's ensembles of lattice gauge fields, which have a quark sea with two flavors much lighter than a third. Our final result is $m_{B_c}=6304\pm12^{+18}_{-…

We review the application of lattice QCD to the phenomenology of b- and c-quarks. After a short discussion of the lattice techniques used to evaluate hadronic matrix elements and the corresponding systematic uncertainties, we summarise…

Within the framework of three lepton families we have derived an exact and compact formula to describe the matter effect on neutrino mixing and CP violation. This model- and parametrization-independent result can be particularly useful for…
