Form factors for semi-leptonic $B$ decays

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2016-12-16 v1

Abstract

Semi-leptonic BB decays provide promising channels to test the Standard Model, search for signs of new physics, or determine fundamental parameters like CKM matrix elements. We present an update on our calculation of short distance contributions to GIM suppressed rare BB decays focusing in particular on Bsϕ+B_s\to \phi \ell^+ \ell^- decays. Furthermore we show first results for our calculation of B(s)D(s)()νB_{(s)}\to D_{(s)}^{(*)}\ell\nu semi-leptonic decays involving bcb\to c transitions. Our calculations are based on RBC-UKQCD's 2+1 flavor domain-wall fermion and Iwasaki gauge field configurations featuring three lattice spacings in the range 1.731.73 GeV a12.77\le a^{-1} \le 2.77 GeV and pion masses down to the physical value. We calculate the form factors by simulating bb-quarks using the relativistic heavy quark action, create light u/du/d and ss quarks with standard domain-wall kernel, and use optimised M\"obius domain-wall fermions for charm quarks.
