I give a brief overview of recent results from lattice QCD calculations which are relevant for the phenomenology of the Standard Model. I discuss, in particular, the lattice determination of light quark masses and the calculation of those…

Using domain wall fermions, we estimate $B_K(\mu\approx 2 GeV)=0.628(47)$ in quenched QCD which is consistent with previous calculations. At $\gbeta=6.0$ and 5.85 we find the ratio $f_K/m_\rho$ in agreement with the experimental value,…
In lattice QCD, obtaining properties of heavy-light mesons has been easier said than done. Focusing on the $B$ meson's decay constant, it is argued that towards the end of 1997 the last obstacles were removed, at least in the quenched…
By using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism to handle charm, strange and light valence quarks in full lattice QCD, and NRQCD to handle bottom valence quarks we are able to determine accurately ratios of the B meson…
Accurate measurements of K, D and B meson mixing amplitudes provide stringent constraints in the Unitary Triangle analysis, as well as useful bounds on New Physics scales. Lattice QCD provides a non perturbative tool to compute the hadronic…

The most common predictions for rare $K$ and $B$ decay branching ratios in the Standard Model are based on the CKM elements $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ resulting from global fits, that are in the ballpark of their inclusive and exclusive…
I calculate, at one loop in staggered chiral perturbation theory, the matrix elements of the complete set of five local operators that may contribute to B mixing both in the Standard Model and in beyond-the-Standard-Model theories. Lattice…
We determine hadronic matrix elements relevant for the mass and width differences, $\Delta M_s$ & $\Delta \Gamma_s$ in the $B^0_s - \bar{B^0_s}$ meson system using fully unquenched lattice QCD. We employ the MILC collaboration gauge…

$B$ anomalies play a prominent role in Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics searches. In particular, the long standing tension between the inclusive and the exclusive determinations of the CKM matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ and the current…
We study the weak productions of novel heavy mesons, such as $\eta_c^{\prime}$, $h_c$, $h_c^{\prime}$, $\chi_{c0}^{\prime}$, X(3940), Y(3940), X(3872), and Y(4260), in the semi-leptonic $B_c$ decays. Since there is still no definite answer…

Motivated by the improved results from the HPQCD lattice collaboration on the hadronic matrix elements entering $\Delta M_{s,d}$ in $B_{s,d}^0-\bar B_{s,d}^0$ mixings and the increase of the experimental branching ratio for…
Study of the hadronic matrix elements can provide not only tests of the QCD sector of the Standard Model (in comparing with existing experiments) but also reliable low-energy hadronic quantities applicable to a wide range of…
We report on lattice calculations of the $B$ meson decay constant and the B-parameters using the NRQCD action for heavy quark. We performed a set of calculations at three lattice spacings in the quenched approximation in order to…
