Results from the four LEP experiments ALEPH, DELPHI, L3, and OPAL on the spectroscopy of B and charmed mesons are presented. The predictions of Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) for the masses and the widths of excited L=1 B mesons are…
A novel method to calculate f_B on the lattice is introduced, based on the study of the dependence of finite size effects upon the heavy quark mass of flavoured mesons and on a non-perturbative recursive finite size technique. We avoid the…
We present two-flavor lattice QCD estimates of the hadronic couplings $g_{B^*_0 B \pi}$ and $g_{B_1^* B_0^* \pi}$ that parametrise the non leptonic decays $B^*_0 \to B \pi$ and $B^*_1 \to B_0^* \pi$. We use CLS two-flavour gauge ensembles.…
We compute the leading order (in $\alpha_s$) perturbative QCD and power ($1/m_b^2)$ corrections to the hadronic invariant mass and hadron energy spectra in the decay $B \to X_s \ell^+ \ell^-$ in standard model. This is done both by using…
We present the results of a lattice QCD calculation of the scalar and vector form factors for the unphysical $B_s\to\eta_s$ decay, over the full physical range of $q^2$. This is a useful testing ground both for lattice QCD and for our wider…
The possibility of revealing new physics by studying the flavor sector of the Standard Model strongly depends upon the accuracy that will be achieved in (near) future lattice QCD calculations and, in particular, on heavy-light meson's…
We report results on a lattice calculation of the heavy-light meson decay constant employing the non-relativistic QCD approach for heavy quark and Wilson action for light quark. Simulations are carried out at $\beta=6.0$ on a $16^3\times…
Inspired by the newly reported $B\to D^*(\to D\pi)\ell\bar{\nu}_\ell$ differential decay rates by the Belle and Belle II Collaborations, we revisit the $V_{cb}$ puzzle in semi-leptonic $B\to D^*$ decays, considering the latest lattice…
We present a first $N_{\rm f}=2$ lattice estimate of the hadronic coupling $g_{12}$ which parametrizes the strong decay of a radially excited $B^*$ meson into the ground state $B$ meson at zero recoil. We work in the static limit of Heavy…
We give the first accurate results for $B$ and $B_s$ meson masses from lattice QCD including the effect of $u$, $d$ and $s$ sea quarks, and we improve an earlier value for the $B_c$ meson mass. By using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark…
We have developed two methods for handling $b$ quarks in lattice QCD. One uses NRQCD (now improved to include radiative corrections) and the other uses Highly Improved Staggered Quarks (HISQ), extrapolating to the $b$ quark from lighter…
The computation of the form factors for the $B_s \to K \ell \nu$ decay is presented. The b quark is treated by means of Heavy Quark Effective Theory, currently in the static approximation. In these proceedings we discuss the extraction of…
We test the internal consistencies and the reliability of the existing estimates of the decay constant $f_B$ in the static limit, the meson-quark mass gap $\bar \Lambda$ and the kinetic energy $K$ of a heavy quark obtained from the heavy…
We present a preliminary lattice determination of the masses and decay constants of the pseudoscalar and vector mesons $B_c$ and $B_c^*$. Our analysis is based on the gauge configurations produced by the European Twisted Mass Collaboration…
