The current status of lattice and dispersive bound calculations for exclusive semileptonic B decays is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on decays relevant for the measurement of the sides of the unitarity triangle determined by |V_{ub}| and…
We study the radiative leptonic decays of heavy mesons within the covariant light-front model. Using this model, both the form factors F_V and F_A have the same form when the heavy quark limit is taken. In addition, the relation between the…
We calculate the semi-leptonic decays of $\Lambda_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ baryons which involve transitions of a heavy quark to a light quark. In a previous work we used data on the Cabibbo favoured non-leptonic decays of charmed baryons…
We give a selection of results on spectrum and decay constants of light and heavy-light hadrons. Effective field theories relevant for their lattice calculation, namely non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) for heavy quarks on the lattice and Chiral…
A method to extract B-physics parameters (b-quark mass and fB, fBs decay constants) from currently available lattice data is presented and tested. The approach is based on the idea of constructing appropriate ratios of heavy-light meson…
We present preliminary results for the D_s meson spectrum and decay constants in unquenched lattice QCD. Simulations are carried out with 2+1 dynamical quarks using gauge configurations generated by the MILC collaboration. We use the…
We present a calculation of the B and D meson decay constants in lattice QCD with two (Nf=2) flavours of light dynamical quarks, using an O(a)-improved Wilson action for both light and heavy quarks and a renormalization-group improved gauge…
We show that, under reasonable hypotheses, it is possible to study two-body non-leptonic weak decays in numerical simulations of lattice QCD. By assuming that final-state interactions are dominated by the nearby resonances and that the…
We report on recent developments and results from Lattice Gauge Theory. These include determinations of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ and the b-quark mass $M_b$ and an update on the Kaon B parameter $B_K$. Lattice results for…
Non-leptonic two-body decays are discussed on the basis of a generalized factorization approach. It is shown that a satisfactory description of numerous decay processes can be given using the same two parameters a_1^{eff} and a_2^{eff}.…
We present a progress report on our calculation of the decay constants $f_B$ and $f_{B_s}$ from lattice-QCD simulations with highly-improved staggered quarks. Simulations are carried out with several heavy valence-quark masses on…
The two highest precision determinations of alpha_s(M_Z^2), that based on the analysis of short-distance-sensitive lattice observables, and that based on an analysis of hadronic tau decay data, have, until very recently, given results which…
Leptonic and semileptonic kaon decays represent till now the golden modes for the extraction of the Cabibbo angle from experiments, provided the relevant hadronic quantities, namely the ratio of the kaon and pion leptonic decay constants,…
We present a new determination of the $B_s$ leptonic decay constant from lattice QCD simulations that use gluon configurations from MILC and a highly improved discretization of the relativistic quark action for both valence quarks. Our…
We analyse the Lorentz structures of weak decay matrix elements bewteen meson states of arbitrary spin. Simplifications arise in the transition amplitudes for a heavy meson decaying into a light one via a Bethe-Salpeter approach which…
Heavy-meson semileptonic decays calculations on the lattice are reviewed. The focus is upon obtaining reliable matrix elements. Errors that depend upon the lattice spacing, $a$, are an important source of systematic error. Full $O(a)$…
In the last 25 years, many $e^+e^-$ experiments and fixed-target experiments performed to search for and study the leptonic decays of the $D^+$ and $D^+_s$ mesons. By 2012, more than 530 signal events of the $D^+$ leptonic decays and about…
We report on the Lattice determination of the semileptonic form factors by lattice QCD. Comparison with the light-cone QCD sum rules are made for $\Btopi, \Btorho$ semileptonic decays.
We update our previous determination of both the decay constant and the mass of the $D_s$ meson using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism. We include additional results at two finer values of the lattice spacing along with…
We review the physics of purely leptonic decays of $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $D^{\pm}$, $D_s^\pm$, and $B^\pm$ pseudoscalar mesons. The measured decay rates are related to the product of the relevant weak-interaction-based CKM matrix element of…
