Abstract
Precise theoretical predictions derived from the Standard Model are a key ingredient in searches for new physics in the flavor sector. The large mass and long lifetime of the bquark make processes involving b quarks of particular interest. We use lattice simulations to perform nonperturbative QCD calculations for semileptonic B(s) decays. We present results from our determinations of Bs ? Dsl? and Bs ? Kl? semileptonic form factors and provide an outlook for our B ? pl? calculation. In addition we discuss the determination of R-ratios testing lepton-flavor universality and suggest use of an improved ratio. Our calculations are based on the set of 2+1 flavor domain wall Iwasaki gauge field configurations generated by the RBC-UKQCD collaboration featuring three lattice spacings of 1/a = 1.78, 2.38, and 2.79 GeV. Heavy b-quarks are simulated using the relativistic heavy quark action.
