he quark flavor sector of the Standard Model is a fertile ground to look for new physics effects through a unitarity test of the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix. We present a lattice QCD calculation of the scalar and the vector form factors (over a large q2 region including q2 = 0) associated with the D→ Klv semi-leptonic decay. This calculation will then allow us to determine the central CKM matrix element, Vcs in the Standard Model, by comparing the lattice QCD results for the form factors and the experimental decay rate. This form factor calculation has been performed on the Nf = 2 + 1 + 1 MILC HISQ ensembles with the physical light quark masses.

The CKM matrix element |Vcb| can be extracted by combining data from experiments with lattice QCD results for the semileptonic form factors for the B̅ → D(*)lv̅ decays. The Oktay-Kronfeld (OK) action was designed to reduce heavy-quark discretization errors to below 1%, or through O(λ3) in HQET power counting. Here we describe recent progress on bottom-to-charm currents improved to the same order in HQET as the OK action, and correct formerly reported results of our matching calculations, in which the operator basis was incomplete.

We use lattice QCD to fully determine the CKM matrix. |Vcd|, |Vcs|, |Vub|, |Vcb| and |Vus| are, respectively, directly determined with our lattice results for form factors of semileptonic D → πlν, D → Klν, B → πlν, B → Dlν and K → πlν decays. The accuracy is comparable to that of the Particle Data Group averages. In addition, |Vud|, |Vtb|, |Vts| and |Vtd| are determined by using unitarity of the CKM matrix and the experimental result for sin (2β). In this way, we obtain all 9 CKM matrix elements, where the only theoretical input is lattice QCD.

We first review recent measurements of D → μν and Ds → μν, τν from CLEO-c. These decays are used to determine leptonic decay constants fD and fDs which may be compared to modern Lattice QCD (LQCD) calculations. Such cross-checks can provide confidence in Lattice results for B(s) meson decay constants which are needed to fully exploit data used to extract the CKM matrix elements Vub and Vcb. We also comment briefly on the outlook for further progress at BESIII.
