The 2012 PDG reports a tension at the level of $3 sigma$ between two exclusive determinations of $|V_{ub}|$. They are obtained by combining the experimental branching ratios of $B to tau u$ and $B to pi l u$ (respectively) with a theoretical computation of the hadronic matrix elements $fB$ and the $B to pi$ form factor $f_+(q^2)$. To understand the tension, improved precision and a careful analysis of the systematics involved are necessary. We report the results of the ALPHA collaboration for $fB$ from the lattice with 2 flavors of $O(a)$ improved Wilson fermions. We employ HQET, including $1/m_b$ corrections, with pion masses ranging down to $approx$ 190 MeV. Renormalization and matching were performed non-perturbatively, and three lattice spacings reaching $a^{-1}approx 4.1$ GeV are used in the continuum extrapolation. We also present progress towards a computation of $f_+(q^2)$, to directly compare two independent exclusive determinations of $|V_{ub}|$ with each other and with inclusive determinations. Additionally, we report on preliminary results for $fBq{s}$, needed for the analysis of $B_s to mu^+mu^-$.}

We compute the $Btopiell u$ semileptonic form factors and update the determination of the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$. We use the MILC asqtad ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ sea quarks at four different lattice spacings in the range $a approx 0.045$~fm to $0.12$~fm. The lattice form factors are extrapolated to the continuum limit using SU(2) staggered chiral perturbation theory in the hard pion limit, followed by an extrapolation in $q^2$ to the full kinematic range using a functional $z$-parameterization. The extrapolation is combined with the experimental measurements of the partial branching fraction to extract $|V_{ub}|$. Our preliminary result is $|V_{ub}|=(3.72pm 0.14)times 10^{-3}$, where the error reflects both the lattice and experimental uncertainties, which are now on par with each other.
We present a lattice-QCD calculation of the $Btopiell u$ semileptonic form factors and a new determination of the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$. We use the MILC asqtad 2+1-flavor lattice configurations at four lattice spacings and light-quark masses down to 1/20 of the physical strange-quark mass. We extrapolate the lattice form factors to the continuum using staggered chiral perturbation theory in the hard-pion and SU(2) limits. We employ a model-independent $z$ parameterization to extrapolate our lattice form factors from large-recoil momentum to the full kinematic range. We introduce a new functional method to propagate information from the chiral-continuum extrapolation to the $z$ expansion. We present our results together with a complete systematic error budget, including a covariance matrix to enable the combination of our form factors with other lattice-QCD and experimental results. To obtain $|V_{ub}|$, we simultaneously fit the experimental data for the $Btopiell u$ differential decay rate obtained by the BaBar and Belle collaborations together with our lattice form-factor results. We find $|V_{ub}|=(3.72pm 0.16)times 10^{-3}$ where the error is from the combined fit to lattice plus experiments and includes all sources of uncertainty. Our form-factor results bring the QCD error on $|V_{ub}|$ to the same level as the experimental error. We also provide results for the $Btopiell u$ vector and scalar form factors obtained from the combined lattice and experiment fit, which are more precisely-determined than from our lattice-QCD calculation alone. These results can be used in other phenomenological applications and to test other approaches to QCD.
We investigate $ovar{B^0} to D_s^- pi^+$ decay in perturbative QCD approach which has recently been applied to $B$ meson decays. $ovar{B^0} to D_s^- pi^+$ decay (and its charge conjugated mode) can be one of the hopeful modes to determine $|V_{ub}|$ since it occurs through $b to u$ transition only. We estimate both factorizable and non-factorizable contribution, and show that the non-factorizable contribution is much less than the factorizable one. Our calculation gives ${BR}(ovar{B^0} to D_s^- pi^+) = (50 sim 70) times f_{Ds}^2|{V_{ub}}{V_{cs}}|^2$.
We provide a 0.8%-accurate determination of $V_{cs}$ from combining experimental results for the differential rate of $D rightarrow K$ semileptonic decays with precise form factors that we determine from lattice QCD. This is the first time that $V_{c s}$ has been determined with an accuracy that allows its difference from 1 to be seen. Our lattice QCD calculation uses the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action for all valence quarks on gluon field configurations generated by the MILC collaboration that include the effect of $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ HISQ quarks in the sea. We use eight gluon field ensembles with five values of the lattice spacing ranging from 0.15 fm to 0.045 fm and include results with physical $u/d$ quarks for the first time. Our calculated form factors cover the full $q^2$ range of the physical decay process and enable a Standard Model test of the shape of the differential decay rate as well as the determination of $V_{cs}$ from a correlated weighted average over $q^2$ bins. We obtain $|V_{cs}|= 0.9663(53)_{text{latt}}(39)_{text{exp}}(19)_{eta_{EW}}(40)_{text{EM}}$, where the uncertainties come from lattice QCD, experiment, short-distance electroweak and electromagnetic corrections, respectively. This last uncertainty, neglected for $D rightarrow K ell u$ hitherto, now needs attention if the uncertainty on $V_{cs}$ is to be reduced further. We also determine $V_{cs}$ values in good agreement using the measured total branching fraction and the rates extrapolated to $q^2=0$. Our form factors enable tests of lepton flavour universality violation. We find the ratio of branching fractions for $D^0 rightarrow K^-$ with $mu$ and $e$ in the final state to be $R_{mu/e}=0.9779(2)_{text{latt}}(50)_{mathrm{EM}}$ in the Standard Model, with the uncertainty dominated by that from electromagnetic corrections.
The nucleon axial coupling, $g_A$, is a fundamental property of protons and neutrons, dictating the strength with which the weak axial current of the Standard Model couples to nucleons, and hence, the lifetime of a free neutron. The prominence of $g_ A$ in nuclear physics has made it a benchmark quantity with which to calibrate lattice QCD calculations of nucleon structure and more complex calculations of electroweak matrix elements in one and few nucleon systems. There were a number of significant challenges in determining $g_A$, notably the notorious exponentially-bad signal-to-noise problem and the requirement for hundreds of thousands of stochastic samples, that rendered this goal more difficult to obtain than originally thought. I will describe the use of an unconventional computation method, coupled with ludicrously fast GPU code, access to publicly available lattice QCD configurations from MILC and access to leadership computing that have allowed these challenges to be overcome resulting in a determination of $g_A$ with 1% precision and all sources of systematic uncertainty controlled. I will discuss the implications of these results for the convergence of $SU(2)$ Chiral Perturbation theory for nucleons, as well as prospects for further improvements to $g_A$ (sub-percent precision, for which we have preliminary results) which is part of a more comprehensive application of lattice QCD to nuclear physics. This is particularly exciting in light of the new CORAL supercomputers coming online, Sierra and Summit, for which our lattice QCD codes achieve a machine-to-machine speed up over Titan of an order of magnitude.
