Recent results for B meson decay constants with NRQCD b-quarks and clover light quarks are discussed. Perturbative matching factors through O($\alpha/M$) are now available and incorporated into the analyses. An O($\alpha a$) improvement…
We present results for f_B and masses of low-lying heavy-light mesons. Calculations were performed in the quenched approximation using multistate smearing functions generated from a spinless relativistic quark model Hamiltonian. Beta values…
Using a ``wall'' of quark point sources, we invert the chirally improved Dirac operator to create an ``incoherent'' collection of quark propagators which originate from all spatial points of the source time slice. The lowest-order NRQCD…
The status of b-bbar and c-cbar calculations, numerical and analytic, are reviewed. The extraction of alpha_s and quark masses from spectrum calculations is discussed. The NRQCD and Improved Heavy Wilson formulations of heavy quarks are…

We present a progress report on new calculations of B and B_s meson decay constants employing NRQCD heavy and HISQ light valence quarks and using MILC N_f = 2+1 AsqTad lattices. Bare quark masses have been retuned in accord with HPQCD's new…
We perform a precise calculation of the mass of the B_c meson using unquenched configurations from the MILC collaboration including 2+1 flavours of improved staggered quarks. Lattice NRQCD and the Fermilab formalism are used to describe the…

We present a study of a combination of HQET and relativistic QCD to extract the b-quark mass and the Bs-meson decay constant from lattice quenched simulations. We start from a small volume, where one can directly simulate the b-quark, and…
We present results from a study of meson spectra and structure in the limit where one quark is infinitely heavy. The calculations, based on the framework of light-front QCD formulated on a transverse lattice, are the first non-perturbative…
This is a follow-up to our earlier work for the energies and the charge (vector) and matter (scalar) distributions for S-wave states in a heavy-light meson, where the heavy quark is static and the light quark has a mass about that of the…
We present results of a quenched calculation of the heavy-light and quarkonium spectrum using the tadpole improved clover action. We resolve completely the triplet chi P-states in quarkonium systems, and obtain evidence for fine structure…
We compute the B^*B\pi coupling \hat{g}_{\infty} for static heavy-light meson using all-to-all propagators. It is shown that low-mode averaging with 100 low-lying eigenmodes indeed improves the signal for the 2-point and 3-point functions…
Calculations of the heavy-heavy spectrum present a good opportunity for precision tests of QCD using lattice techniques. All methods make use of a non-relativistic expansion of the action and its systematic improvement to remove lattice…
We present a study in the quenched approximation of the $B$ parameter $B_B$ and the decay constant $f_B$ using heavy-quark propagators implemented in the static approximation, and light-quark propagators computed using an $O(a)$-improved…
We compute the leptonic decay constants of heavy-light vector mesons in the quenched approximation. The reliability of lattice computations for heavy quarks is checked by comparing the ratio of vector to pseudoscalar decay constant with the…

The results of an extensive study of B-meson properties in quenched lattice QCD are presented. The studies are carried out in the static quark limit where the b-quark is taken to be infinitely massive. Our computations rely on a multistate…
We extend our earlier lattice-QCD analysis of heavy-quark correlators to smaller lattice spacings and larger masses to obtain new values for the c mass and QCD coupling, and, for the first time, values for the b mass:…
We present our recent results for the B-parameters, which parameterize the \Delta B=2 transition amplitudes. Calculations are made in quenched QCD at \beta=5.7, 5.9, and 6.1, using NRQCD for heavy quark and the $O(a)$-improved action for…
