Test of factorization for the long-distance effects from charmonium on $B\to K\ell^+\ell^-$

We report on a calculation of the charmonium contribution to the decay $B \rightarrow K\ell^+\ell^-$ using lattice simulations with 2+1 flavors of Mobius domain wall fermions. We focus on the region of $q^2$ below the $J/ψ$ resonance and test the factorization approximation to estimate the amplitude. We show a possible discrepancy between the lattice calculation and the factorization method for the non-factorizable contribution.

Axial U(1) symmetry and Dirac spectra in high-temperature phase of $N_f=2$ lattice QCD

The axial $U(1)$ symmetry in the high-temperature phase is investigated with $N_f = 2$ lattice QCD simulations. The gauge ensembles are generated with Möbius domain-wall fermions, and the overlap/domain-wall reweighting is applied. We find that the $U(1)_A$ susceptibility evaluated from the spectrum of overlap-Dirac eigenvalues is strongly suppressed in the chiral limit. We also study its volume dependence.

$B \to D^{(*)}\ellν$ form factors from $N_f\!=\!2+1$ QCD with Möbius domain-wall quarks

We report on our study of the B \to D^(*) \ell νsemileptonic decays at zero and nonzero recoils in 2+1 flavor QCD. The Möbius domain-wall action is employed for light, charm and bottom quarks at lattice cutoffs 1/a = 2.5 and 3.6 GeV. We take bottom quark masses up to \approx 2.4 times the physical charm mass to control discretization effects. The pion mass is as low as M_π\sim 310 MeV. We present our preliminary results for the relevant form factors and discuss the violation of heavy quark symmetry, which is a recent important isuue on the long-standing tension in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_{cb}| between the exclusive and inclusive decays.

Heavy quark scaling of $B\toπ\ellν$ form factors with Möbius domain wall fermions

We report on the progress of our calculation of form factors for the exclusive semileptonic decay of $B$ mesons to pions on $2+1$ flavour lattices with spacings from $0.080~\mathrm{fm}$ down to $0.044~\mathrm{fm}$. Using the Möbius domain wall fermion action for all quarks, we simulate pions with masses down to $230~\mathrm{MeV}$ and extrapolate to the physical bottom quark mass by utilizing a range of heavy quark masses up to $2.44$ times the mass of the charm quark. We discuss the dependence on the pion mass, heavy quark mass and lattice spacing in our form factors results.

Nucleon charges with dynamical overlap fermions

We calculate the scalar and tensor charges of the nucleon in 2+1-flavor lattice QCD, for which the systematics of the renormalization of the disconnected diagram is well controlled. Numerical simulations are performed at a single lattice spacing a = 0.11 fm. We simulate four pion masses, which cover a range of $m_π\sim$ 290 - 540 MeV, and a single strange quark mass close to its physical value. The statistical accuracy is improved by employing the so-called low-mode averaging technique and the truncated solver method. We study up, down, and strange quark contributions to the nucleon charges by calculating disconnected diagrams using the all-to-all quark propagator. Chiral symmetry is exactly preserved by using the overlap quark action to avoid operator mixing among different flavors, which complicates the renormalization of scalar and tensor matrix elements and leads to possibly large contamination to the small strange quark contributions. We also study the nucleon axial charge with contribution from the disconnected diagram. Our results are in reasonable agreement with experiments and previous lattice studies.

Lattice computation of the Dirac eigenvalue density in the perturbative regime of QCD

The eigenvalue spectrum $ρ(λ)$ of the Dirac operator is numerically calculated in lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors of dynamical domain-wall fermions. In the high-energy regime, the discretization effects become significant. We subtract them at the leading order and then take the continuum limit with lattice data at three lattice spacings. Lattice results for the exponent $\partial\lnρ/\partial\lnλ$ are matched to continuum perturbation theory, which is known up to $O(α_s^4)$, to extract the strong coupling constant $α_s$.

Topological susceptibility in 2+1-flavor QCD with chiral fermions

We compute the topological susceptibility $χ_t$ of 2+1-flavor lattice QCD with dynamical Möbius domain-wall fermions, whose residual mass is kept at 1 MeV or smaller. In our analysis, we focus on the fluctuation of the topological charge density in a "slab" sub-volume of the simulated lattice, as proposed by Bietenholz et al. The quark mass dependence of our results agrees well with the prediction of the chiral perturbation theory, from which the chiral condensate is extracted. Combining the results for the pion mass $M_π$ and decay constant $F_π$, we obtain $χ_t$ = 0.227(02)(11)$M_π^2 F_π^2$ at the physical point, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic.

D meson semileptonic form factors in Nf=3 QCD with Möbius domain-wall quarks

We present our calculation of D \to pi and D \to K semileptonic form factors in Nf = 2+1 lattice QCD. We simulate three lattice cutoffs 1/a \sim 2.5, 3.6 and 4.5 GeV with pion masses as low as 230 MeV. The Möbius domain-wall action is employed for both light and charm quarks. We present our results for the vector and scalar form factors and discuss their dependence on the lattice spacing, light quark masses and momentum transfer.

Axial $U(1)$ symmetry at high temperature in 2-flavor lattice QCD

We investigate the axial $U(1)_A$ symmetry breaking above the critical temperature in two-flavor lattice QCD. The ensembles are generated with dynamical Möbius domain-wall or reweighted overlap fermions. The $U(1)_A$ susceptibility is extracted from the low-modes spectrum of the overlap Dirac eigenvalues. We show the quark mass and temperature dependences of $U(1)_A$ susceptibility. Our results at $T=220 \, \mathrm{MeV}$ imply that the $U(1)_A$ symmetry is restored in the chiral limit. Its coincidence with vanishing topological susceptibility is observed.

Dirac spectral density and mass anomalous dimension in 2+1 flavor QCD

We compute the Dirac spectral density of QCD in a wide range of eigenvalues by using a stochastic method. We use 2+1 flavor lattice ensembles generated with Mobius domain-wall fermion at three lattice spacings ($a=0.083, 0.055, 0.044$ fm) to estimate the continuum limit. The discretization effect can be minimized by a generalization of the valence domain-wall fermion. The spectral density at relatively high eigenvalues can be matched with perturbation theory. We compare the lattice results with the perturbative expansion available to $O(α_s^4)$.

Degeneracy of vector-channel spatial correlators in high temperature QCD

We study spatial isovector meson correlators in $N_f=2$ QCD with dynamical domain-wall fermions on $32^3\times 8$ lattices at temperatures up to 380 MeV with various quark masses. We measure the correlators of spin-one isovector operators including vector, axial-vector, tensor and axial-tensor. At temperatures above $T_c$ we observe an approximate degeneracy of the correlators in these channels, which is unexpected because some of them are not related under $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ nor $U(1)_A$ symmetries. The observed approximate degeneracy suggests emergent $SU(2)_{CS}$ (chiral-spin) and $SU(4)$ symmetries at high $T$.

$B \rightarrow π\ell ν$ with Möbius Domain Wall Fermions

We report on the status of our calculation of the exclusive semileptonic decay, $B\rightarrow π\ell ν$; a key process in the determination of the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$. The Möbius domain wall action is used for both light and heavy quarks on gauge ensembles that include the effects of $2+1$ flavours of quarks in the sea at three values of the lattice spacing: $a\approx 0.08~\mathrm{fm}$, $a\approx0.055~\mathrm{fm}$, and $a\approx0.044~\mathrm{fm}$. Pion masses go down to $300~\mathrm{MeV}$ while heavy quarks masses are as large as $2.44m_c$. We present preliminary results of form factors from this process, showing dependence on momentum transfer, lattice spacing, and the heavy quark mass.

Inclusive semi-leptonic B meson decay structure functions from lattice QCD

We propose a method to non-perturbatively calculate the forward-scattering matrix elements relevant to inclusive semi-leptonic B meson decays. Corresponding hadronic structure functions at unphysical kinematics are accessible through lattice QCD calculation of four-point correlation functions. The unphysical kinematical point may be reached by analytic continuation from the physical differential decay rate. A numerical test is performed for the B_s -> X_c l nu mode in the zero-recoil limit. We use lattice ensembles generated with 2+1 dynamical quark flavors. The valence charm quark mass is tuned to its physical value, while the bottom quark mass is varied in the range (1.56-2.44)m_c. From the numerical results we can identify the contributions of the ground state D_s^(*) meson as well as those of excited states or continuum states.

Approaching the Bottom Using Fine Lattices With Domain-Wall Fermions

We explore the heavy-quark mass region above the charm mass using Möbius domain-wall fermions on fine lattices at $a = 0.080$, $0.055$, and $0.044$ fm. We examine masses and decay constants using a series of heavy quark masses up to 3 times the charm quark. We analyze the cutoff effects for heavy quarks above the charm and account for the leading order discretization effects using ideas from HQET. We extrapolate to the bottom quark mass and report preliminary results for $f_{B}$ and $f_{B_s}$

Current correlators in the coordinate space at short distances

We calculate the vector and axial-vector current correlators in the coordinate space and compare them with the experimental information obtained through the spectral functions of hadronic tau decays measured by ALEPH. Lattice data are obtained with 2+1 Mobius domain-wall fermions at three lattice spacings 0.044, 0.055 and 0.080 fm and the continuum limit is taken. The correlators calculated on the lattice after extrapolating to the physical point agree with those converted from the ALEPH data.

Determination of charm quark mass from temporal moments of charmonium correlator with Mobius domain-wall fermion

We extract the charm quark mass and the strong coupling constant from the charmonium current correlators calculated with $n_f = 2 + 1$ Mobius domain wall fermions. We match our lattice calculation for the temporal moments of the correlator with perturbative result known up to four-loop order, and extract the charm quark mass with uncertainty less than 1%. Using the temporal moments, we also confirm the correlators in the vector channel to be consistent with the experimental data for the R-ratio. We used the ensembles generated by the JLQCD collaboration at lattice spacings $a$ = 0.080 fm, 0.055 fm and 0.044 fm.

Stochastic calculation of the Dirac spectrum on the lattice and a determination of chiral condensate in 2+1-flavor QCD

We compute the chiral condensate in 2+1-flavor QCD through the spectrum of low-lying eigenmodes of Dirac operator. The number of eigenvalues of the Dirac operator is evaluated using a stochastic method with an eigenvalue filtering technique on the background gauge configurations generated by lattice QCD simulations including the effects of dynamical up, down and strange quarks described by the Mobius domain-wall fermion formulation. The low-lying spectrum is related to the chiral condensate, which is one of the leading order low-energy constants in chiral effective theory, as dictated by the Banks-Casher relation. The spectrum shape and its dependence on the sea quark masses calculated in numerical simulations are consistent with the expectation from one-loop chiral perturbation theory. After taking the chiral limit as well as the continuum limit using the data at three lattice spacings ranging 0.080-0.045 fm, we obtain $Σ^{1/3}$(2 GeV) = 270.0(4.9) MeV, with the error combining those from statistical and from various sources of systematic errors. Finite volume effect is confirmed to be under control by a direct comparison of the results from two different volumes at the lightest available sea quarks corresponding to 230 MeV pions.

Short-distance charmonium correlator on the lattice with Möbius domain-wall fermion and a determination of charm quark mass

We calculate charmonium correlators on the lattice with 2+1-flavors of sea quarks and charm valence quark both described by the Möbius domain-wall fermion. Temporal moments of the correlators are calculated and matched to perturbative QCD formulae to extract the charm quark mass $m_c(μ)$ and strong coupling constant $α_s(μ)$. Lattice data at three lattice spacings, 0.044, 0.055, and 0.080~fm, are extrapolated to the continuum limit. The correlators in the vector channel are confirmed to be consistent with the experimental data for $e^+e^-\to c\bar{c}$, while the pseudo-scalar channel is used to extract $m_c(μ)$ and $α_s(μ)$. We obtain $m_\mathrm{c}(3 \mathrm{\ GeV})$ = 1.003(10)~GeV and $α_s^{\bar{\mathrm{MS}}(4)}(3\mathrm{\ GeV})$ = 0.253(13). Dominant source of the error is the truncation of perturbative expansion at $α_s^3$.
