In the heavy quark limit, the heavy baryon $\Lambda_Q$ (Q=b or c) can be regarded as composed of a heavy quark and a scalar light diquark which has good spin and flavor quantum numbers. Based on this picture we establish the Bethe-Salpeter…
We calculate the $B \to D^{(*)} \ell \nu$ form factors in 2+1 flavor relativistic lattice QCD by employing the M\"obius domain-wall action for all quark flavors. Our simulations are carried out at lattice cut-offs $a^{-1} \sim 2.5$, 3.6 and…
