We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the form factor for B-> D* l nu with three flavors of sea quarks. We use an improved staggered action for the light valence and sea quarks (the MILC configurations), and the Fermilab action for the heavy quarks. The form factor is computed at zero recoil using a new double ratio method that yields the form factor more directly than the previous Fermilab method. Other improvements over the previous calculation include the use of much lighter light quark masses, and the use of lattice (staggered) chiral perturbation theory in order to control the light quark discretization errors and chiral extrapolation. We obtain for the form factor, F_{B-> D*}(1)=0.921(13)(20), where the first error is statistical and the second is the sum of all systematic errors in quadrature. Applying a 0.7% electromagnetic correction and taking the latest PDG average for F_{B-> D*}(1)|V_cb| leads to |V_cb|=(38.7 +/- 0.9_exp +/- 1.0_theo) x 10^-3.

We calculate the form factor f_+(q^2) for B-meson semileptonic decay in unquenched lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors of light sea quarks. We use Asqtad-improved staggered light quarks and a Fermilab bottom quark on gauge configurations generated by the MI
LC Collaboration. We simulate with several light quark masses and at two lattice spacings, and extrapolate to the physical quark mass and continuum limit using heavy-light meson staggered chiral perturbation theory. We then fit the lattice result for f_+(q^2) simultaneously with that measured by the BABAR experiment using a parameterization of the form factor shape in q^2 which relies only on analyticity and unitarity in order to determine the CKM matrix element |V(ub)|. This approach reduces the total uncertainty in |V(ub)| by combining the lattice and experimental information in an optimal, model-independent manner. We find a value of |V(ub)| x 10^3 = 3.38 +/- 0.36.
We use recent Belle results on $bar{B}^0rightarrow D^{*+}l^-bar{ u}_l$ decays to extract the CKM element $|V_{cb}|$ with two different but well-founded parameterizations of the form factors. We show that the CLN and BGL parameterizations lead to quit
e different results for $|V_{cb}|$ and provide a simple explanation of this unexpected behaviour. A long lasting discrepancy between the inclusive and exclusive determinations of $|V_{cb}|$ may have to be thoroughly reconsidered.
We present details of a lattice QCD calculation of the $B_sto D_s^*$ axial form factor at zero recoil using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) formalism on the second generation MILC gluon ensembles that include up, down, strange and charm qu
arks in the sea. Using the HISQ action for all valence quarks means that the lattice axial vector current that couples to the $W$ can be renormalized fully non-perturbatively, giving a result free of the perturbative matching errors that previous lattice QCD calculations have had. We calculate correlation functions at three values of the lattice spacing, and multiple `$b$-quark masses, for physical $c$ and $s$. The functional dependence on the $b$-quark mass can be determined and compared to Heavy Quark Effective Theory expectations, and a result for the form factor obtained at the physical value of the $b$-quark mass. We find $mathcal{F}^{B_sto D_s^*}(1) = h^s_{A_1}(1) = 0.9020(96)_{text{stat}}(90)_{text{sys}}$. This is in agreement with earlier lattice QCD results, which use NRQCD $b$ quarks, with a total uncertainty reduced by more than a factor of two. We discuss implications of this result for the $Bto D^*$ axial form factor at zero recoil and for determinations of $V_{cb}$.
We compute the form factors for the $B to Kl^+l^-$ semileptonic decay process in lattice QCD using gauge-field ensembles with 2+1 flavors of sea quark, generated by the MILC Collaboration. The ensembles span lattice spacings from 0.12 to 0.045 fm and
have multiple sea-quark masses to help control the chiral extrapolation. The asqtad improved staggered action is used for the light valence and sea quarks, and the clover action with the Fermilab interpretation is used for the heavy $b$ quark. We present results for the form factors $f_+(q^2)$, $f_0(q^2)$, and $f_T(q^2)$, where $q^2$ is the momentum transfer, together with a comprehensive examination of systematic errors. Lattice QCD determines the form factors for a limited range of $q^2$, and we use the model-independent $z$ expansion to cover the whole kinematically allowed range. We present our final form-factor results as coefficients of the $z$ expansion and the correlations between them, where the errors on the coefficients include statistical and all systematic uncertainties. We use this complete description of the form factors to test QCD predictions of the form factors at high and low $q^2$. We also compare a Standard-Model calculation of the branching ratio for $B to Kl^+l^-$ with experimental data.
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 it
s 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.
