Predicting the $B_s^0-bar{B}_s^0$ width difference $DeltaGamma_s$ relies on the heavy quark expansion and on hadronic matrix elements of $Delta B=2$ operators. We present the first lattice QCD results for matrix elements of the dimension-7 operators $R_{2,3}$ and linear combinations $tilde{R}_{2,3}$ using nonrelativistic QCD for the bottom quark and a highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action for the strange quark. Computations use MILC ensembles of gauge field configuations with $2+1+1$ flavors of sea quarks with the HISQ discretization, including lattices with physically light up/down quark masses. We discuss features unique to calculating matrix elements of these operators and analyze uncertainties from series truncation, discretization, and quark mass dependence. Finally we report the first Standard Model determination of $DeltaGamma_s$ using lattice QCD results for all hadronic matrix elements through $mathcal{O}(1/m_b)$. The main result of our calculations yields the $1/m_b$ contribution $Delta Gamma_{1/m_b} = -0.022(10)~mathrm{ps}^{-1}$. Adding this to the leading order contribution, the Standard Model prediction is $Delta Gamma_s = 0.092(14)~mathrm{ps}^{-1}$.
We consider two-loop QCD corrections to the element $Gamma_{12}^q$ of the decay matrix in $B_q-bar{B}_q$ mixing, $q=d,s$, in the leading power of the Heavy Quark Expansion. The calculated contributions involve one current-current and one penguin oper
We perform a quantitative analysis of the $bbbar{b}bar{b}$ tetraquark decays into hidden- and open-bottom mesons and calculate, for the first time, the $bbbar{b}bar{b}$ tetraquark total decay width. On the basis of our results, we propose the $bbbar{
We calculate BSM hadronic matrix elements for $K^0-bar K^0$ mixing in the Dual QCD approach (DQCD). The ETM, SWME and RBC-UKQCD lattice collaborations find the matrix elements of the BSM density-density operators $mathcal{O}_i$ with $i=2-5$ to be rat
We calculate---for the first time in three-flavor lattice QCD---the hadronic matrix elements of all five local operators that contribute to neutral $B^0$- and $B_s$-meson mixing in and beyond the Standard Model. We present a complete error budget for
We calculate in three-flavor lattice QCD the short-distance hadronic matrix elements of all five $Delta C=2$ four-fermion operators that contribute to neutral $D$-meson mixing both in and beyond the Standard Model. We use the MILC Collaborations $N_f
