We review the results of lattice QCD calculations of form factors for semileptonic decays of D and B mesons. We also mention results for semileptonic decays of b baryons and the rare radiative decay B to K* gamma.

In this work we apply the Dispersive Matrix (DM) method of Refs. [1,2] to the lattice computations of the Form Factors (FFs) entering the semileptonic $B \to D^* \ell \nu_\ell$ decays, recently produced by the FNAL/MILC Collaborations [3]…

We present an extraction of Vcb from a lattice calculation of the B->D* decay matrix elements. We obtain |Vcb| \sqrt{ \frac{ \tauB }{ 1.49 ps } } = 0.037^{+3 \ +5}_{-3 \ -5} from a single parameter fit to the new CLEO data. Email…

We present results of a lattice study of the form factors in the decay B-> pi l nu. We attempt to disentangle the the dependence of the form factors on the light quark masses and the momentum transfer. Using models of the q^2 dependence we…

We discuss the impact of the recent untagged analysis of ${B}^0\rightarrow D^{*}l\bar{\nu}_l$ decays by the Belle Collaboration on the extraction of the CKM element $|V_{cb}|$ and provide updated SM predictions for the $b\to c\tau\nu$…

We examine the semileptonic $B \to D^{(*)} \ell \nu_\ell$ and $B \to \pi \ell \nu_\ell$ decays adopting the unitarity-based Dispersive Matrix (DM) method, which allows to determine the shape of the relevant hadronic form factors (FFs) in…

We present results of the first lattice QCD calculations of $B_c \to B_s$ and $B_c \to B_d$ weak matrix elements. Form factors across the entire physical $q^2$ range are then extracted and extrapolated to the physical-continuum limit before…

We show that it is now possible to fully determine the CKM matrix, for the first time, using lattice QCD. |V_{cd}|, |V_{cs}|, |V_{ub}|, |V_{cb}| and |V_{us}| are, respectively, directly determined with our lattice results for form factors…

In an analysis of a 2.92~fb$^{-1}$ data sample taken at 3.773~GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we measure the absolute decay branching fractions to be $\mathcal B(D^0 \to K^-e^+\nu_e)=(3.505\pm 0.014 \pm…

I review recent developments in lattice weak matrix element calculations. I focus on on $f_B$ (both with propagating quarks and in the static limit for the $b$ quark), semi-leptonic form factors for $D$ meson decay, form factors for $B \to…

The quark flavor sector of the Standard Model is a fertile ground to look for new physics effects through a unitarity test of the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. We present a lattice QCD calculation of the scalar and the vector form…

We propose a method to determine the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ using the global $q^2$ dependence of the dispersive bound on the form factors for $B\to \pi l\nu$ decay. Since the lattice calculation of the $B\to \pi l\nu$ form factor is…

We calculate the leading-order matrix element for exclusive decays of $b \to s\gamma$ in the quenched approximation of lattice QCD on a $24^3\times48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$, using an O(a)-improved fermion action. The matrix element is used…
