Precision $B^*B\pi$ coupling from three-flavor lattice QCD

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2021-11-09 v1

Abstract

We consider three-flavor QCD and perform a determination of the low-energy coupling g^χ\hat{g}_\chi of SU(2) Heavy Meson Chiral Perturbation Theory. It is the BBπB^*B\pi coupling in the limit of static heavy and chiral light quarks and has not been determined with precision thus far. The calculation is performed on a large set of the 2+12+1 flavor CLS ensembles with pion masses from 420 MeV down to 130 MeV. This allows us to significantly reduce the systematic uncertainty from the chiral extrapolation compared to previous works. Only a weak dependence on the lattice spacing is visible in our results.
