We present the first lattice QCD determination of the $\Xi_b \to \Xi$ vector, axial-vector, and tensor form factors, which are relevant for the theory of rare decays including $\Xi_b \to \Xi \ell^+\ell^-$ and $\Xi_b \to \Xi \gamma$. The…
This is an overview of quark flavor physics as presented in a plenary talk at Lattice 2023. In the first part, I discuss the main processes and lattice-QCD inputs used to determine the Wolfenstein parameters of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa…
Using the recent first lattice results of the RBC-UKQCD collaboration for $K \to \pi\pi$ decays, we perform a phenomenological analysis of $\epsilon_K^{\prime}/\epsilon_K$ and find a discrepancy between SM prediction and experiments by…
This paper is a review of recent lattice QCD results for $D$ and $D_s$ meson leptonic and semileptonic decays. The theory inputs needed for the determination of $V_{cd}$ and $V_{cs}$ from experimental results are the meson decay constants…
The $B_K$ parameter is computed in quenched lattice QCD with Wilson twisted mass fermions. Two variants of tmQCD are used; in both of them the relevant $\Delta S = 2$ four-fermion operator is renormalised multiplicatively. The…
We study the direct CP violation effect in the decay mode $B^+ \to \phi K^+$. This decay mode is dominated by the loop induced $\bar b \to \bar s s \bar s$ penguin diagram with a tiny contribution from annihilation diagram. Therefore, the…
The first lattice QCD calculation of the form factors governing $\Lambda_c \to \Lambda \ell^+ \nu_\ell$ decays is reported. The calculation was performed with two different lattice spacings and includes one ensemble with a pion mass of…
Enhancement of strangeness production has since long been proposed as a promising signal of quark-gluon plasma production. A convenient indicator for it is the Wroblewski parameter which has been shown to be about a factor two higher in…
In this article, we present a very general but not ultimate solution of CPV problem in the standard model. Our study starts from a naturally Hermitian ${\bf M^2}\equiv M^q \cdot M^{q\dagger}$ rather than the previously assumed Hermitian…
We present a lattice-QCD determination of the $\Lambda \to p$ vector and axial-vector form factors, providing theoretical input for studies of the semileptonic decay $\Lambda \to p\ell\bar{\nu}_\ell$. The calculation is carried out on a…
We present a lattice QCD determination of the vector and scalar form factors of the semileptonic decays D->\pi l \nu and D -> K l \nu which are relevant for the extraction of the CKM matrix elements |Vcd| and |Vcs| from experimental data.…
We calculate the new contribution to the direct CP-violation parameter $\epsilon'$ in $K\to \pi\pi$ decay in the minimal left-right symmetric model with the recently-obtained right-handed quark Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing. We pay…
Status of lattice calculations of hadron matrix elements along with CP violation in B and in K systems is reviewed. Lattice has provided useful input which, in conjunction with experimenatl data, leads to the conclusion that CP-odd phase in…
We investigate the time-evolutions of angular distributions for $B_s$ decays into final states that are admixtures of CP-even and CP-odd configurations. A sizable lifetime difference between the $B_s$ mass eigenstates allows a probe of CP…
A recent lattice prediction of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$, with a 2.1 $\sigma$ deviation from the experimental value, has triggered several studies of possible contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. We have recently updated…
The energy dependency (running) of the strength of electromagnetic interactions $\alpha$ plays an important role in precision tests of the Standard Model. The running of the former to the $Z$ pole is an input quantity for global electroweak…
We calculate the kaon $B$-parameter in quenched lattice QCD at $\beta=6.0$ using Wilson fermions at $\kappa=0.154$ and $0.155$. We use two kinds of non-local (``smeared'') sources for quark propagators to calculate the matrix elements…
We determine f_K for lattice QCD in the two flavor approximation with non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions. The result is used to set the scale for dimensionful quantities in CLS/ALPHA simulations. To control its dependence on the…
We have gained enough statistical precision to distinguish signal from noise in matrix elements of all operators relevant for the Delta I=1/2 rule in kaon decays and for the direct CP violation parameter epsilon-prime. We confirm…
We propose and apply a new approach to determining $|V_{us}|$ using dispersion relations with weight functions having poles at Euclidean (space-like) momentum which relate strange hadronic $\tau$ decay distributions to hadronic vacuum…
