We have calculated the decay constants of B and $D$ mesons with lattice QCD. We use an $O(a)$ improved action that takes light quark actions as a starting point, tuned so that it can be directly applied at the physical masses of the $b$ and…

In the article, we calculate the hadronic coupling constants $G_{D_2^*D\pi}$, $G_{D_{s2}^*DK}$, $G_{B_2^*B\pi}$, $G_{B_{s2}^*BK}$ with the three-point QCD sum rules, then study the two body strong decays $D_2^*(2460)\to D\pi$,…
Isospin is an almost exact symmetry of strong interactions and the corrections to the isosymmetric limit are, in general, at the percent level. For several hadronic quantities relevant for flavour physics phenomenology, such as pseudoscalar…
Early B-physics experiments have left us with a number of puzzles in heavy flavour physics. New lattice calculations (with a greater understanding of QCD effects in the Standard Model) will be needed to support the increase in experimental…
