We present lattice results for the form factors relevant in the K -> pion and D -> pion semileptonic decays, obtained from simulations with two flavors of dynamical twisted-mass fermions and pion masses as light as 260 MeV. For K -> pion decays we discuss the estimates of the main sources of systematic uncertainties, including the quenching of the strange quark, leading to our final result f+(0) = 0.9560 (57) (62). Combined with the latest experimental data, our value of f+(0) implies for the CKM matrix element |Vus| the value 0.2267 (5) (20) consistent with the first-row CKM unitarity. For D -> pion decays the application of Heavy Meson Chiral Perturbation Theory allows to extrapolate our results for both the scalar and the vector form factors at the physical point with quite good accuracy, obtaining a nice agreement with the experimental data. In particular at zero-momentum transfer we obtain f+(0) = 0.64 (5).

We present lattice results for the vector and scalar form factors of the semileptonic decays D -> pi ell u_ell and D -> K ell u_ell in the physical range of values of squared four momentum transfer q^2, obtained with N_f=2 maximally twisted Wilson fermions simulated at three different lattice spacings (a ~ 0.102 fm, 0.086 fm, 0.068 fm) with pion masses as light as 270 MeV and m_pi L gtrsim 4. The form factors are extracted using a double ratios strategy, which allows a good statistical accuracy and is independent of the vector current renormalization constant. The chiral/continuum extrapolation is performed through a simultaneous fit in the three variables (m_pi, q^2, a) using HMChPT formulae with additional O(a^2) terms that parametrically account for the lattice spacing dependence. Our results are in very good agreement with the experimental data in the full q^2 range for both D -> pi ell u_ell and D -> K ell u_ell. At zero momentum transfer we obtain f^{D->pi}(0) = 0.65(6)_{stat}(6)_{syst} and f^{D->K}(0) = 0.76(5)_{stat}(5)_{syst}, where the systematic error does not include the effects of quenching the strange and the charm quarks. Our findings are in good agreement with recent lattice calculations at N_f = 2+1.
We present our calculation of D to pi and D to K semileptonic form factors in Nf = 2+1 lattice QCD. We simulate three lattice cutoffs 1/a sim 2.5, 3.6 and 4.5 GeV with pion masses as low as 230 MeV. The Mobius domain-wall action is employed for both light and charm quarks. We present our results for the vector and scalar form factors and discuss their dependence on the lattice spacing, light quark masses and momentum transfer.
We discuss preliminary results for the vector form factors $f_+^{{pi,K}}$ at zero-momentum transfer for the decays $Dtopiell u$ and $Dto K ell u$ using MILCs $N_f = 2+1+1$ HISQ ensembles at four lattice spacings, $a approx 0.042, 0.06, 0.09$, and 0.1 2 fm, and various HISQ quark masses down to the (degenerate) physical light quark mass. We use the kinematic constraint $f_+(q^2)= f_0(q^2)$ at $q^2 = 0$ to determine the vector form factor from our study of the scalar current, which yields $f_0(0)$. Results are extrapolated to the continuum physical point in the framework of hard pion/kaon SU(3) heavy-meson-staggered $chi$PT and Symanzik effective theory. Our calculation improves upon the precision achieved in existing lattice-QCD calculations of the vector form factors at $q^2=0$. We show the values of the CKM matrix elements $|V_{cs}|$ and $|V_{cd}|$ that we would obtain using our preliminary results for the form factors together with recent experimental results, and discuss the implications of these values for the second row CKM unitarity.

We present results on the nucleon form factors, momentum fraction and helicity moment for $N_f=2$ and $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass fermions for a number of lattice volumes and lattice spacings. First results for a new $N_f=2$ ensemble at the physical pio n mass are also included. The implications of these results on the spin content of the nucleon are discussed taking into account the disconnected contributions at one pion mass.
We present the first lattice Nf=2+1+1 determination of the tensor form factor $f_T^{D pi(K)}(q^2)$ corresponding to the semileptonic and rare $D to pi(K)$ decays as a function of the squared 4-momentum transfer $q^2$. Together with our recent determi nation of the vector and scalar form factors we complete the set of hadronic matrix elements regulating the semileptonic and rare $D to pi(K)$ transitions within and beyond the Standard Model, when a non-zero tensor coupling is possible. Our analysis is based on the gauge configurations produced by ETMC with Nf=2+1+1 flavors of dynamical quarks, which include in the sea, besides two light mass-degenerate quarks, also the strange and charm quarks with masses close to their physical values. We simulated at three different values of the lattice spacing and with pion masses as small as 220 MeV. The matrix elements of the tensor current are determined for plenty of kinematical conditions in which parent and child mesons are either moving or at rest. As in the case of the vector and scalar form factors, Lorentz symmetry breaking due to hypercubic effects is clearly observed also in the data for the tensor form factor and included in the decomposition of the current matrix elements in terms of additional form factors. After the extrapolations to the physical pion mass and to the continuum and infinite volume limits we determine the tensor form factor in the whole kinematical region accessible in the experiments. A set of synthetic data points, representing our results for $f_T^{D pi(K)}(q^2)$ for several selected values of $q^2$, is provided and the corresponding covariance matrix is also available. At zero four-momentum transfer we get $f_T^{D pi}(0) = 0.506 (79)$ and $f_T^{D K}(0) = 0.687 (54)$, which correspond to $f_T^{D pi}(0)/f_+^{D pi}(0) = 0.827 (114)$ and $f_T^{D K}(0)/f_+^{D K}(0)= 0.898 (50)$.
