We prove that Borel QCD sum rules for heavy-light currents yield very strong correlations between the $b$-quark mass $m_b$ and the $B$-meson decay constant $f_B$, namely, $\delta f_B/f_B\approx -8\,\delta m_b/m_b$. This fact opens the…

The phenomenology of the pseudo scalar mesons D_s and B_s and of the vector mesons D_s* and B_s* was investigated in simulations of quenched lattice QCD. The work is particularly focused on the continuum limit and the minimisation of all…

We perform a precise calculation of the mass of the B_c meson using unquenched configurations from the MILC collaboration including 2+1 flavours of improved staggered quarks. Lattice NRQCD and the Fermilab formalism are used to describe the…

Calculations of the heavy-heavy spectrum present a good opportunity for precision tests of QCD using lattice techniques. All methods make use of a non-relativistic expansion of the action and its systematic improvement to remove lattice…

We present the complete next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order short-distance and bound-state QCD correction to the leptonic decay rate Gamma(Upsilon(1S)->l+l-) of the lowest-lying spin-1 bottomonium state. The perturbative QCD prediction is…

We present a precise determination of the leptonic decay constant F_D(s) of the D(s)-meson in quenched lattice QCD. This work is particularly focused on the analysis and discussion of all sources of systematic errors. We simulate directly…

We propose a new method to extract the light quark mass ratio $m_u/m_d$ using the $\Upsilon(4S)\to h_b\pi^0(\eta)$ bottomonia transitions. The decay amplitudes are dominated by the light quark mass differences, and the corrections from…

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…

The status of Lattice QCD is reviewed with respect to results that are relevant to Standard Model phenomenology. I argue that in a few simple cases all (or almost all) systematic errors from the lattice calculation are under control.…

Tensor states $\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{b}}=\Upsilon B_{c}^{\ast -}$ and $\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{c}}=J/\psi B_{c}^{\ast +}$ are explored using techniques of QCD sum rule method. These hadronic molecules, composed of only…

We present results of a lattice calculation of tetraquark states with quark contents $q_1q_2\bar{Q}\bar{Q}, \, q_1,q_2 \subset u,d,s,c$ and $Q \equiv b,c$ in both spin zero ($J=0$) and spin one ($J=1$) sectors. These calculations are…

New double ratios of exponential moments of different two-point functions, which are less sensitive to the heavy quark mass and to the continuum effects than the commonly used ratio of moments, are presented for a more refined analysis of…

In this work the charm and bottom quark masses are determined from QCD moment sum rules for the charmonium and upsilon systems. In our analysis we include both the results from non-relativistic QCD and perturbation theory at…

By combining the first unquenched lattice computation of the B-meson binding energy and the two-loop contribution to the lattice HQET residual mass, we determine the (\bar{{MS}}) (b)-quark mass, (\bar{m}_{b}(\bar{m}_{b})). The inclusion of…

A completely non-perturbative estimate is given for the u/d and strange quark masses in quenched QCD using O(a) improved fermions and, for comparison, Wilson fermions. For improved fermions we find m_{u/d}^MSbar(\mu=2 GeV) = 4.4(2) MeV,…

We present results of the first lattice QCD calculation of three-flavored heavy dibaryons both in the flavor-symmetric and antisymmetric channels. These dibaryons have spin zero, and are constructed using various possible combinations of…

A novel method to calculate f_B on the lattice is introduced, based on the study of the dependence of finite size effects upon the heavy quark mass of flavoured mesons and on a non-perturbative recursive finite size technique. We avoid the…

I review the basic ideas behind lattice QCD calculations that involve charm and bottom quarks. I report on the progress in getting the correct hyperfine splitting in charmonium from lattice QCD. Some of the basic technology behind numerical…

Recent lattice quantum chromodynamics (lQCD) computations of bottomonium correlation functions with extended sources provide new insights into heavy-quark dynamics at distance scales which are of the order of the inverse temperature. We…

The 2012 PDG reports a tension at the level of $3 \sigma$ between two exclusive determinations of $|V_{ub}|$. They are obtained by combining the experimental branching ratios of $B \to \tau \nu$ and $B \to \pi l \nu$ (respectively) with a…
