We present the first lattice QCD determination of the $\Lambda \to N$ vector and axial-vector form factors, which are essential inputs for studying the semileptonic decay $\Lambda \to p \ell \bar{\nu}_\ell$. This channel provides a clean,…

The status of lattice calculations of heavy quark phenomenology is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the understanding and control of the calculational uncertainties. The ensuing implications for constraining the CKM matrix…

In this paper we investigate weak decays of heavy mesons in the framework of a covariant quark model, which is based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation in instantaneous approximation. Apart from a phenomenological confinement potential, a…

The semileptonic decay form factors of the double heavy $B_{c}$ meson provide a unique opportunity to study the strong interactions between two heavy quarks. A fully relativistic model, with effective non-local quark-meson interactions, is…

A review of charm semileptonic decays results obtained at B factories is presented. It focuses on form factors measurements in $D^0\to K^- \ell^+ \nu$, $D^0\to \pi^- \ell^+ \nu$, $D_s^+ \to K^+K^- e^+\nu_e$, and $D^+ \to K^-\pi^+ e^+\nu_e$.…

We estimate statistical and systematic errors in the extraction of the CKM ratio |Vcd|/|Vcs| from exclusive D-meson semileptonic decays using lattice QCD and anticipated new experimental results.

We study the form factors for semileptonic decays of $D$-mesons. That is, we consider the matrix element of the weak left-handed quark current for the transitions $D \rightarrow P$ and $D \rightarrow V$, where $P$ and $V$ are light…

We determine the complete set of axial and vector form factors for the Ds to {\phi}l{\nu} decay from full lattice QCD for the first time. The valence quarks are implemented using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action and we normalise…

We report on the computation of the scaling of QCD observables with the number of colours, $N_c$. For this, we use dynamical configurations with four active flavours, $N_f=4$, and values of $N_c=3-6$. We study the meson masses and decay…

We review the application of lattice QCD to the phenomenology of b- and c-quarks. After a short discussion of the lattice techniques used to evaluate hadronic matrix elements and the corresponding systematic uncertainties, we summarise…

We present a study of semi-leptonic $\bar B\tp D\ell\bar\nu$ decays in quenched lattice QCD through a calculation of the matrix element $\la D|\bar c\gamma_\mu b|\bar B\ra$ on a $24^3\times 48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$, using an…

The form factors relevant to $B_{q}\to D^{\ast}_{q}(J^{P}=1^{-})\ell\nu$ $(q=s, d, u)$ decays are calculated in the framework of the three point QCD sum rules approach. The heavy quark effective theory prediction of the form factors are…

We investigate the semileptonic decays of charmed mesons to light vector mesons within the framework of light-cone sum rules. Our calculation is performed at leading order in QCD coupling, incorporating contributions up to twist-five…

I review the status of lattice-QCD calculations relevant to quark flavor physics. The recent availability of physical-mass ensembles with large physical volumes generated by a growing number of lattice collaborations is an exciting…

We calculate axial vector and vector form factors for the semileptonic decay Ds to phi using HISQ valence quarks on MILC ensembles with 2+1 flavours of asqtad sea quarks. Using twisted boundary conditions to tune the quarks' momenta, we…

Precise theoretical predictions derived from the Standard Model are a key ingredient in searches for new physics in the flavor sector. The large mass and long lifetime of the $b$ quark make processes involving $b$ quarks of particular…

The form factors of weak decays of the B_c meson to orbitally excited charmonium, D, B_s and B mesons are calculated in the framework of the QCD-motivated relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. Relativistic effects…

We present the first unquenched lattice-QCD calculation of the form factors for the decay $B\rightarrow D^\ast\ell\nu$ at nonzero recoil. Our analysis includes 15 MILC ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ flavors of asqtad sea quarks, with a strange…

Semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of the B_c meson to B_s and B mesons, caused by the c\to s,d quark transitions, are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The heavy quark expansion in inverse powers of the active c…

The form factors of $B_{(s)}$ decays into P-wave excited charmed mesons (including $D^*_0(2300)$, $D_1(2430)$, $D_1(2420)$, $D^*_2(2460)$ and their strange counterparts, denoted generically as $D^{**}_{(s)}$) are systematically calculated…
