The current status of the lattice-QCD calculations of the form factors of the $Bto D^astell u$ semileptonic decay is reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to the most mature calculation at non-zero recoil coming from the Fermilab Lattice and MILC collaborations. Blinded, preliminary results for the form factors are shown, including a preliminary, but detailed error budget. The lattice results seem to favor a large slope at small recoil, in contrast to the latest untagged results coming from the Belle collaboration. A comprehensive comparison between the latest BGL $z$ expansions of Belle, Babar, the lattice and a joint BGL fit including lattice and Belle data is presented, and a roadmap to improve the current calculation is discussed. The current implications for $V_{cb}$ and $R(D^ast)$ are discussed.

We present preliminary blinded results from our analysis of the form factors for $Brightarrow D^astell u$ decay at non-zero recoil. Our analysis includes 15 MILC asqtad ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ flavors of sea quarks and lattice spacings ranging from $aapprox 0.15$ fm down to $0.045$ fm. The valence light quarks employ the asqtad action, whereas the $b$ and $c$ quarks are treated using the Fermilab action. We discuss the impact that our results will have on $left|V_{cb}right|$ and $R(D^ast)$.

We present the first unquenched lattice-QCD calculation of the form factors for the decay $Bto D^astell u$ at nonzero recoil. Our analysis includes 15 MILC ensembles with $N_f = 2+1$ flavors of asqtad sea quarks, with a strange quark mass close to its physical mass. The lattice spacings range from $aapprox 0.15$ fm down to $0.045$ fm, while the ratio between the light- and the strange-quark masses ranges from 0.05 to 0.4. The valence b and c quarks are treated using the Wilson-clover action with the Fermilab interpretation, whereas the light sector employs asqtad staggered fermions. We extrapolate our results to the physical point in the continuum limit using rooted staggered heavy-light meson chiral perturbation theory. Then we apply a model-independent parametrization to extend the form factors to the full kinematic range. With this parametrization we perform a joint lattice-QCD/experiment fit using several experimental datasets to determine the CKM matrix element $|V_{cb}| = (38.40 pm 0.66_{text{th}} pm 0.34_{text{exp}}) times 10^{-3}$, where the first error is theoretical and the second comes from experiment. This result is still in tension with current inclusive determinations, but it is in agreement with previous exclusive determinations. We also integrate the differential decay rate obtained solely from lattice data to predict $R(D^ast) = 0.265 pm 0.013$, which confirms the current tension between theory and experiment.
We present an update on the calculation of $bar{B}to D^ast ell bar{ u}$ semileptonic form factor at zero recoil using the Oktay-Kronfeld bottom and charm quarks on $N_f=2+1+1$ flavor HISQ ensembles generated by the MILC collaboration. Preliminary results are given for two ensembles with $aapprox 0.12$ and $0.09$ fm and $M_piapprox 310$ MeV. Calculations have been done with a number of valence quark masses, and the dependence of the form factor on them is investigated on the $aapprox 0.12$ fm ensemble. The excited state is controlled by using multistate fits to the three-point correlators measured at 4--6 source-sink separations.
The exclusive semileptonic decay $B rightarrow pi ell u$ is a key process for the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $V_{ub}$ from the comparison of experimental rates as a function of $q^2$ with theoretically determined form factors. The sensitivity of the form factors to the $u/d$ quark mass has meant significant systematic uncertainties in lattice QCD calculations at unphysically heavy pion masses. Here we give the first lattice QCD calculations of this process for u/d quark masses going down to their physical values, calculating the $f_0$ form factor at zero recoil to 3%. We are able to resolve a long-standing controversy by showing that the soft-pion theorem result $f_0(q^2_{max}) = f_B/f_{pi}$ does hold as $m_{pi} rightarrow 0$. We use the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism for the light quarks and show that staggered chiral perturbation theory for the $m_{pi}$ dependence is almost identical to continuum chiral perturbation theory for $f_0$, $f_B$ and $f_{pi}$. We also give results for other processes such as $B_s rightarrow K ell u$.
