We present a lattice QCD calculation of the heavy quark expansion parameters $\mu_{\pi}^2$ and $\mu_G^2$ for heavy-light mesons and heavy-light-light baryons. The calculation is carried out on a 20$^3\times$48 lattice at $\beta$ = 6.0 in…
The study of heavy-light meson masses should provide a way to determine renormalized quark masses and other properties of heavy-light mesons. In the context of lattice QCD, for example, it is possible to calculate hadronic quantities for…
We summarise a Dyson-Schwinger-equation-based calculation of an extensive range of light- and heavy-meson observables, characterised by heavy-meson leptonic decays, semileptonic heavy-to-heavy and heavy-to-light transitions, radiative and…
We determine the masses of the light and the strange quarks in the $\bar{MS}$-scheme using our high-statistics lattice simulation of QCD with dynamical Wilson fermions. For the light quark mass we find $m^{light}_{\bar{MS}}(2 GeV) = 2.7(2)…
In this work we study the predominantly orbital and radial excitations of hadrons containing a single heavy quark. We present meson and baryon mass splittings and ratios of meson decay constants (e.g., $f_{B_s}/f_B$ and $f_{B_s'}/f_{B_s}$)…
The parametric error on the QCD-coupling can be a dominant source of uncertainty in several important observables. One way to extract the coupling is to compare high order perturbative computations with lattice evaluated moments of heavy…
