We present a lattice-QCD calculation of the light-quark connected contribution to window observables associated with leading-order hadronic vacuum polarization anomalous magnetic moment muon, $a_\mu^{\mathrm{HVP,LO}}$. employ MILC Collaboration's isospin-symmetric QCD gauge-field ensembles, which contain four flavors dynamical highly-improved-staggered quarks lattice spacings between $a\approx 0.06$-$0.15$~fm and close-to-physical quark masses. consider several effective-field-theory-based...
We present new results for the amplitude ${A}_{2}$ a kaon to decay into two pions with isospin $I=2$: $\mathrm{Re}{A}_{2}=1.50(4{)}_{\text{stat}}(14{)}_{\text{syst}}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}8}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$; $\mathrm{Im}{A}_{2}=\ensuremath{-}6.99(20{)}_{\text{stat}}(84{)}_{\text{syst}}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}13}\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$.

We extend the picture of $B$-meson decay constants obtained in lattice QCD beyond those $B$, ${B}_{s}$ and ${B}_{c}$ to give first full results for ${B}^{*}$, ${B}_{s}^{*}$ ${B}_{c}^{*}$. use improved nonrelativistic valence $b$ quark highly staggered (HISQ) action lighter quarks on gluon field configurations that include effect $u/d$, $s$ $c$ sea with $u/d$ masses going down physical values. For ratio vector pseudoscalar constants, we find ${f}_{{B}^{*}}/{f}_{B}=0.941(26)$,...
We present physical results for a variety of light hadronic quantities obtained via combined analysis three $2+1$ flavour domain wall fermion ensemble sets. For two our sets we used the Iwasaki gauge action with $\ensuremath{\beta}=2.13$ (${a}^{\ensuremath{-}1}=1.75(4)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$) and $\ensuremath{\beta}=2.25$ (${a}^{\ensuremath{-}1}=2.31(4)\text{ lattice sizes ${24}^{3}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}64$ ${32}^{3}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}64$ respectively,...

There has been much speculation as to the origin of ΔI=1/2 rule (ReA0/ReA2≃22.5). We find that two dominant contributions ΔI=3/2, K→ππ correlation functions have opposite signs, leading a significant cancelation. This partial cancelation occurs in our computation ReA2 with physical quark masses and kinematics (where we reproduce experimental value A2) also for heavier pions at threshold. For ReA0, although do not results kinematics, zero momentum mπ≃420 MeV [ReA0/ReA2=9.1(2.1)] mπ≃330...

We have performed the first $n_f = 2+1+1$ lattice QCD computations of properties (masses and decay constants) ground-state charmonium mesons. Our calculation uses HISQ action to generate quark-line connected two-point correlation functions on MILC gluon field configurations that include $u/d$ quark masses going down physical point, tuning $c$ mass from $M_{J/\psi}$ including effect quark's electric charge through quenched QED. obtain $M_{J/\psi}-M_{\eta_c}$ (connected) 120.3(1.1) MeV...
We use our lattice QCD computation of the $B_c\rightarrow J/\psi$ form factors to determine differential decay rate for semitauonic channel and construct ratio branching fractions $R(J/\psi) = \mathcal{B}(B_c^- \rightarrow J/\psi \tau^-\bar{\nu}_\tau)/\mathcal{B}(B_c^- \mu^-\bar{\nu}_\mu)$. find 0.2582(38)$ give an error budget. also extend relevant angular observables, which were recently suggested study lepton flavor universality violating effects in $B\rightarrow D^*\ell\nu$, $B_c...

The Pauli strings appearing in the decomposition of an operator can be grouped into commuting families, reducing number quantum circuits needed to measure expectation value operator. We detail algorithm completely partition full set acting on any qubits minimal sets and we provide python code perform partitioning. partitioning method scales linearly with size it naturally provides a fast diagonalizing families gates. package that integrates qiskit, use this benchmark dense Hamiltonians, such...
Lattice QCD is notorious for its computational expense. Modern lattice simulations require large-scale resources to handle the high number of Dirac operator inversions used construct correlation functions. Machine learning (ML) techniques that can increase, at analysis level, information inferred from functions would therefore be beneficial. We apply supervised infer two-point different target masses. Our work proposes a new method separating data into training and bias correction subsets...
We present an update on the analysis of semileptonic $B\rightarrow D^{(*)}$ decays at non-zero recoil. Our computation employs $2 + 1 1$ FNAL-MILC ensembles with highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action for sea and light valence quarks, while bottom is treated using clover in Fermilab interpretation. Simulations are performed across several lattice spacings, ranging approximately from $\sim 0.15$ fm to 0.06$ fm, various masses. will overview show some preliminary results form factors.
We compute the renormalisation factors (Z-matrices) of $\Delta F=2$ four-quark operators needed for Beyond Standard Model (BSM) kaon mixing. work with nf=2+1 flavours Domain-Wall fermions whose chiral-flavour properties are essential to maintain a continuum-like mixing pattern. introduce new RI-SMOM schemes, which we argue better behaved compared commonly-used corresponding RI-MOM one. find that, once converted MS, Z-factors computed through these schemes in good agreement but differ...
We determine the charm and strange quark masses in $\overline{\text{MS}}$ scheme, using $n_f=2+1+1$ lattice QCD calculations with highly improved staggered quarks (HISQ) RI-SMOM intermediate scheme to connect bare continuum renormalisation schemes.

We show that the running of operators which mix under renormalization can be computed fully nonperturbatively as a product continuum step-scaling matrices. These matrices are obtained by taking ``ratio'' $Z$ at different energies in an RI-MOM type scheme for twisted boundary conditions essential ingredient. Our method allows us to relax bounds Rome-Southampton window. also explain why such is important view light quark physics program RBC-UKQCD Collaborations. To illustrate our method, using...
