Heavy quark physics on the lattice

Creators

Description

I review the current status of lattice calculations of the properties of bound states containing one or more heavy quarks. Many of my remarks focus on the heavy-light leptonic decay constants, such as fB, for which the systematic errors have by now been quite well studied. I also discuss B-parameters, semileptonic form factors, and the heavy-light and heavy-heavy spectra. Some of my 'world averages' are: fB = 200(30) MeV, fB√B-circumflexBd, ), fBs / fB = 1.16(4) andfBs√B-circumflexBs / fB√-circumflex B-circumflexbd
