Rare $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ decays provide some of the most sensitive tests of the Standard Model and require precise and systematically improvable hadronic input from lattice QCD. For the phenomenologically important channel $B\to…
I review recent progresses in heavy quarks physics on the lattice. I focus on decay constants and form factors relevant for the extraction of CKM matrix elements from experimental data. B-\bar{B} mixing is also discussed. In the last part…
We report on new data from additional zero temperature simulations of QCD with 12 flavors. This is a continuation of previous studies using the DBW2 gauge action and naive staggered fermions. With the use of the force gradient integrator…
We calculate, in the continuum limit of quenched lattice QCD, the form factor that enters the decay rate of the semileptonic decay B --> D* l nu. By using the step scaling method (SSM), previously introduced to handle two scale problems in…
In view of the recent start of the NA62 experiment at CERN that is expected to measure the $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu$ branching ratio with a precision of 10%, we summarise the present status of this promising decay within the Standard Model…
We constrain the inverse moment of the $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA), $\lambda_B$ in heavy quark effective theory, using form factor estimates from Lattice QCD collaboration. The estimation of the parameter $\lambda_B$…
Indirect CP violation in K \rightarrow {\pi}{\pi} decays plays a central role in constraining the flavor structure of the Standard Model (SM) and in the search for new physics. For many years the leading uncertainty in the SM prediction of…
We confront the recent improved measurements of the D_{(s)} (semi) leptonic decays with lattice QCD (LQCD) with n_f=3 flavours and QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) predictions. D\to\mu\nu_\mu leptonic width data compared with theoretical…

This talk provides a brief summary of the status of lattice QCD calculations of the light quark masses and the kaon bag parameter B_K. Precise estimates of these four fundamental parameters of the standard model, i.e., m_u, m_d, m_s and the…
We report on the determination of $|V_{cb}|$ from the comparison of the semileptonic inclusive decay rates of B-- and D--mesons using the heavy quark symmetry of QCD. While the renormalization scale ambiguity does not allow for a reliable…
The persistent tensions between inclusive and exclusive determinations of $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ weaken the power of theoretically clean rare $K$ and $B$ decays in the search for new physics (NP). We demonstrate how this uncertainty can…
We present an analysis of the rare exclusive $B$ decays $B\to K\nu\bar\nu$ and $B\to K^{*}\nu\bar\nu$ within the Standard Model (SM), in a model-independent manner, and in a number of new physics (NP) models. Combining new form factor…
We calculate---for the first time in three-flavor lattice QCD---the hadronic matrix elements of all five local operators that contribute to neutral $B^0$- and $B_s$-meson mixing in and beyond the Standard Model. We present a complete error…
Some recent results of lattice QCD calculations which are relevant for the phenomenology of the Standard Model are reviewed. They concern the lattice determinations of quark masses, studies of K-Kbar and B-Bbar mixings, and a prediction of…
In this talk I review some recent results from lattice QCD calculations which aim to a more accurate determination of the Standard Model parameters in the quark sector. After a review of our current knowledge of these parameters, I present…
We reemphasize that the ratio $R_{s\mu} \equiv \overline{\mathcal{B}}(B_s\to\mu\bar\mu)/\Delta M_s$ is a measure of the tension of the Standard Model (SM) with latest measurements of $\overline{\mathcal{B}}(B_s\to\mu\bar\mu)$ that does not…
In light of the first observation of the semileptonic decay $B^{0}_{s}\to K^{-}\mu^{+}\nu_{\mu}$ by the LHCb collaboration, we revisit the determination of the CKM parameter $|V_{ub}|$ from exclusive semileptonic $B$-meson decays. A…
The QCD light quark mass renormalized at a 1 GeV scale in the $ \overline{MS} $ scheme is obtained from the numerical results of the lattice QCD simulation with staggered fermions. The primary emphasis is given to the connection between the…
