Nichtstörungstheoretische Bestimmung von Standardmodellparametern für die Phänomenologie der Flavourphysik mit schweren Quarks
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
The outcome of the present project contributes to theoretical determinations of fundamental parameters of the Standard Model of Elementary Particle Physics by means of Monte Carlo simulations of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) with dynamical quarks on a space-time lattice. One part of the work was dedicated to precision computations of phenomenologically relevant hadronic masses and matrix elements in B-physics, which — in conjunction with measured experimental rates of the decay processes involved — are crucial theory inputs for global analyses of the quark-mixing matrix and the impact of possible effects from New Physics. The main results obtained here are the mass of the b-quark, the B-meson leptonic decay constants and certain energy levels in the B-meson spectrum, including a trustworthy estimation of the remaining statistical and systematic uncertainties. Moreover, we have devised and numerically implemented a strategy to extend our lattice QCD approach to B-physics to also calculate form factors of semi-leptonic B-meson decays. The other part of the project dealt with non-perturbative determinations of the improvement coefficient and the renormalization factor of the isovector axial current for lattice QCD with three dynamical flavours of Wilson fermions. Its results represent an important prerequisite for a variety of applications, such as lattice computations of quark masses, meson decay constants and (nucleon) axial form factors, to name but a few.
