We have developed two methods for handling b quarks in lattice QCD. One uses NRQCD (now improved to include radiative corrections) and the other uses Highly Improved Staggered Quarks (HISQ), extrapolating to the b quark from lighter masses and using multiple lattice spacings to control discretisation errors. Comparison of results for the two different methods gives confidence in estimates of lattice QCD systematic errors, since they are very different in these two cases. Here we show results…

Quark Flavor Physics Review

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

Hyperfine splitting in the bottomonium system on the lattice and in the continuum

The latest experimental measurements of the hyperfine splitting $E_{\rm{hfs}}=M_{\Upsilon(1 S)}-M_{\eta_b(1 S)}$ done by the Belle collaboration and the perturbative and lattice QCD predictions show

Coulomb artifacts and bottomonium hyperfine splitting in lattice NRQCD

• Physics
• 2016
A bstractWe study the role of the lattice artifacts associated with the Coulomb binding effects in the analysis of the heavy quarkonium within lattice NRQCD. We find that a “na¨ıve” perturbative

We determine the decay constants of the π and K mesons on gluon field configurations from the MILC Collaboration including u , d , s , and c quarks. We use three values of the lattice spacing and u/d

Highly improved staggered quarks on the lattice with applications to charm physics

We use perturbative Symanzik improvement to create a new staggered-quark action (HISQ) that has greatly reduced one-loop taste-exchange errors, no tree-level order a{sup 2} errors, and no tree-level

Lattice QCD ensembles with four flavors of highly improved staggered quarks
