We study an accurate method for the lattice calculation of the B*Bpi Coupling in the static limit, paying particular attention to excited state contamination. As this coupling is a parameter of the heavy meson chiral Lagrangian, it is…

We improve a previous quenched result for heavy-light pseudoscalar meson decay constants with the light quark taken to be the strange quark. A finer lattice resolution (a ~ 0.05 fm) in the continuum limit extrapolation of the data computed…

We summarize the present status of lattice gauge theory computations of the leptonic decay constants $f_D$ and $f_B$. The various sources of systematic errors are explained in a manner easily understood by the non--expert. The results…
We report on a calculation of form factors for the semileptonic decay of $B$ meson to pion on $2+1$-flavour lattices with lattice spacings from 0.080 fm down to 0.044 fm. Using the M\"obius domain wall fermion action for both sea and…
We compute on the lattice the ``bag'' parameters of the five (Delta B = 2) operators of the supersymmetric basis, by combining their values determined in full QCD and in the static limit of HQET. The extrapolation of the QCD results from…
We analyze the color-magnetic (or "$B$") field two-point function that encodes the finite-mass correction to the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient. The simulations are done on fine isotropic lattices in the quenched approximation…
We report on our calculation of the B \to D^(*) \ell \nu form factors in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD. The M\"obius domain-wall action is employed for light, strange, charm and bottom quarks. At lattice cutoffs 1/a \sim 2.4, 3.6 and 4.5 GeV, we…
We introduce an alternative discretization for static quarks on the lattice retaining the O(a) improvement properties of the Eichten-Hill action. In this formulation, statistical fluctuations are reduced by a factor which grows…
Recently we studied the B, Bs, D and Ds meson decay constants using various treatments for the heavy quark. For B mesons, we determined fB, fBs, and fBs/fB with NRQCD bottom quarks. We then combined the ratio fBs/fB and another very precise…
