We compute the so called residual mass in Lattice Heavy Quark Effective Theory to alpha^3 order in the n_f=2 (unquenched) case. The control of this additive mass renormalization is crucial for the determination of the heavy quark mass from…
Baryon number symmetry violating theories beyond the standard model with suppressed proton decay rates can be experimentally constrained by data on neutron-antineutron transition rates. In order to apply this constraints, theoretical…

The QCD finite energy sum rules method is used to show that the parameter of the K^0-\bar{K}_0 mixing \hat{B} is mainly determined by the value of g m_s< \bar{d} G_{\mu\nu} \sigma_{\mu\nu} d > and the vacuum expectation values of four-quark…

Predicting the $B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0$ width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ relies on the heavy quark expansion and on hadronic matrix elements of $\Delta B=2$ operators. We present the first lattice QCD results for matrix elements of the…

The B -> X_s l+ l- decay rate is known at the next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD. It is proportional to alpha_em (mu)^2 and has a +- 4% scale uncertainty before including the O(alpha_em log(M_W^2/m_b^2)) electromagnetic corrections. We…

We calculate the bag parameters for neutral $B$-meson mixing in and beyond the Standard Model, in full four-flavour lattice QCD for the first time. We work on gluon field configurations that include the effect of $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ sea…
This talk consists of two parts. We first present a light-cone QCD sum rule computation of the $B_s\to f_0(980)$ form factors which are necessary inputs in semileptonic and nonleptonic $B_s$ decays into $f_0(980)$. Then we analyze…
