We present a lattice QCD determination of the $B_s to D_s ell u$ scalar and vector form factors over the full physical range of momentum transfer. The result is derived from correlation functions computed using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) formalism, on the second generation MILC gluon ensembles accounting for up, down, strange and charm contributions from the sea. We calculate correlation functions for three lattice spacing values and an array of unphysically light $b$-quark masses, and extrapolate to the physical value. Using the HISQ formalism for all quarks means that the lattice current coupling to the $W$ can be renormalized non-perturbatively, giving a result free from perturbative matching errors for the first time. Our results are in agreement with, and more accurate than, previous determinations of these form factors. From the form factors we also determine the ratio of branching fractions that is sensitive to violation of lepton universality: $R(D_s) = mathcal{B}(B_sto D_s tau u_{tau})/mathcal{B}(B_sto D_s ell u_{l})$, where $ell$ is an electron or a muon. We find $R(D_s) = 0.2987(46)$, which is also more accurate than previous lattice QCD results. Combined with a future measurement of $R(D_s)$, this could supply a new test of the Standard Model. We also compare the dependence on heavy quark mass of our form factors to expectations from Heavy Quark Effective Theory.
We present progress on an ongoing calculation of the $B_sto D_s^{(*)} l u$ form factors calculated on the $n_f=2+1+1$ MILC ensembles and using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action for all valence quarks. We perform the calculation at a range o
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
We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the form factors for the standard model tree-level decay $B_sto K ell u$. In combination with future measurement, this calculation will provide an alternative exclusive semileptonic determination of $|V_
We update the lattice calculation of the $Btopi$ semileptonic form factors, which have important applications to the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ and the $Btopiell^+ell^-$ rare decay. We use MILC asqtad ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ sea quarks and over a
We report on our calculation of the B to D^(*) ell u form factors in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD. The Mobius domain-wall action is employed for light, strange, charm and bottom quarks. At lattice cutoffs 1/a sim 2.4, 3.6 and 4.5 GeV, we simulate bottom q
