Semi-leptonic decays of heavy mesons and the Isgur-Wise function in quenched lattice QCD

The form factors for the semi-leptonic B->D and B->D* decays are evaluated in quenched lattice QCD at two different values of the coupling, beta=6.0 and 6.2. The action and the operators are fully O(a) non-perturbatively improved. The slope of the Isgur-Wise function is evaluated, and found to be rho^2=0.83^{+15+24}_{-11-1} (quoted errors are statistical and systematic respectively). Ratios of form factors are evaluated and compared to experimental determinations.

The Isgur Wise function from the Lattice

We derive the form factors relevant for decays of pseudo-scalar mesons corresponding to the semi-leptonic decay B->D l nu. The simulations are performed in the quenched approximation at beta=6.0 and beta=6.2 using a non-perturbatively improved clover action. The slope of the Isgur Wise function and |Vcb| are extracted from the form factors.
