  1. B Physics with Lattice QCD: Status and Prospects Aida X. El-Khadra (UIUC and Fermilab) SLAC workshop on Vxb and Vtx, Dec 4-6, 2002

  2. Outline: • Motivation • Introduction to lattice QCD • fB and BB • Semileptonic B meson decays • B  D,D* lv • B  p lv • some recent developments • Prospects for the near future • Conclusions A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002

  3. present (2001) status: errors are dominated by theory (CLEO-c 2001, 95% cl) After B factories: assuming only incremental progress for theory errors  1/2 Motivation A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002

  4. The problem: for example need the hadronic matrix elements from lattice QCD to determine theCKM matrix elements goal: 2-3% theory errors from lattice QCD Motivation cont’d A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002

  5. L x a … discretize the QCD action (Wilson) e.g.discrete derivative in QCD Lagrangian where c(a) = c(a;as,m) depends on the QCD parameters calculable in pert. theory Introduction discretize space-time … fermion fieldlives on site:y(x) gauge field lives on link:Um(x) = exp[iagAm(x)] A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002

  6. Lattice Lagrangian • in general:Llat =Lcont + O(a n) n  1 • errors scale with the typical momenta of the particles, • e.g.(LQCDa)nfor gluons and light quarks. keep1/a LQCD • typical lattice spacinga 0.1 fm. • Improvement: add more terms to the action to makenlarge • gluons: • Wilson:a2errors (n = 2) • Lüscher + Weisz: as2a2errors • light quarks (am 1): • Wilson:aerrors (n = 1) • Clover (SW):as2aerrors,a2errors(Sheikholeslami+Wohlert) • staggered:a2errors • improved staggered (Asqtad):asa2errors(Lepage, MILC) A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002

  7. Lattice Lagrangian • heavy quarks (mQ LQCD and amQ1): SW + HQ expansion(APE, UKQCD): start with light quark action, keepamQ < 1mQ  mcharm then use HQ expansion to reachmQ = mb corresponds to expandingciinmQ:ci = ci(0) + amQci(1) + … errors: (ap)n , (p/mQ)n,(amQ)n  lattice NRQCD (Lepage, et al., Caswell+Lepage): discretize NRQCD lagrangian: valid when amQ > 1 corresponds toexpanding ciin1/mQ: ci = ci(0) + 1/(amQ) ci(1) + … errors:  (ap)n , (p/mQ)n  Fermilab(Kronfeld, Mackenzie, AXK): start with rel. Wilson action (+ improvement) keep full mass dependence ofci, add time-space asymmetry smoothly matches heavy and light mass limits:valid for allamQ errors: (ap)n , (p/mQ)n  A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002

  8. L a (fm) systematic errors • finite lattice spacing,a: take continuum limit: • by brute force: • computational • effort grows • like ~(L/a)6 • by improving the action: • computational effort grows much more slowly improved actions are much better … A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002

  9. MILC 1999: compare different light quark actions example: rmeson mass vs. a2 a = 0.14 fm A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002

  10. In numerical simulations, ml > mu,d because of the computational cost for small m. • use chiral perturbation theory to extrapolate to mu,d need ml < ms/2and several different values forml (easier with staggered than Wilson-type actions) f ml ms/2 systematic errors, cont’d • chiral extrapolation, mldependence: • finite Volume: • L ~ 2 fm okay for B’s. A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002

  11. nf= 0: quenched approximation introduces systematic error  10 – 30 % nf 0: computationally difficult need improved actions keep a large, a  0.1 fm nf= 2 with staggered and SW fermions (a2 errors) so far: systematic errors, cont’d • nf dependence new MILC (2002): nf= 3withms mlightandmlight = ms/8, ms/4 … , ms/2,…, ms using an improved staggered action (as a2 errors) A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002

  12. Need 2-loop lattice perturbation theory for ~ few% errors difficult, especially with improved actions! use: • automated perturbation theory(Lüscher+Weisz, Lepage, et al) • computational methods(di Renzo, et al) • numerical methods(Lepage, Mackenzie, Trottier, …) • nonperturbative methods(Alpha, APE, …) example: static self energy to 3-loops (Trottier, et al, di Renzo+Scorzato) as to 2-loops (in progress) systematic errors, cont’d • perturbation theory: • for example Renormalization: fromp ~ p/a calculable in perturbation theory if ais small enough. For a ~ 0.1 fm, as ~ 0.25: with 1-loop pert. thy, errors ~ O(as2) ~ 5% A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002

  13. What are the “easy” lattice calculations ? For stable (or almost stable) hadrons, masses and amplitudes with no more than one initial (final) state hadron, for example: • p, K, D, D*, Ds, Ds*, B, B*, Bs, Bs*mesons • masses, decay constants, weak matrix elements for mixing, • semileptonic, and rare decays • charmonium and bottomonium (hc, J/y, hc, …, hb, U(1S), U(2S), ..) • states below open D/B threshold • masses, leptonic widths, electromagnetic matrix elements This list includes most of the important quantities for CKM physics. Excluded are r mesons and other resonances. A. El-Khadra, SLAC workshop, Dec. 4-6, 2002
