Lattice simulations of $B\to\pi l\nu$ decays are problematic in the low $q^{2}$ region when the pion has to have large momentum in the lattice frame for a $B$ meson at rest or moving slowly. The moving-NRQCD formalism provides a way around…
Lattice Monte Carlo simulations now include the effects of 2 light sea quarks and 1 strange sea quark through the use of an improved staggered fermion action. Consequently, results important to phenomenology are free of the approximate 10%…
