Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

Dramatic progress has been made over the last decade in the numerical study of quantum
chromodynamics (QCD) through the use of improved formulations of QCD on the lattice …

The rare decays B 0→ K* 0 μ+ μ-and B s→ ϕ μ+ μ-are now being observed with enough
precision to test Standard Model predictions. A full understanding of these decays requires …

An analytic method of smearing link variables in lattice QCD is proposed and tested. The
differentiability of the smearing scheme with respect to the link variables permits the use of …

We introduce a new smearing transformation, the hypercubic (HYP) fat link. The hypercubic
fat link mixes gauge links within hypercubes attached to the original link only. Using …

We calculate the equation of state in 2+ 1 flavor QCD at finite temperature with physical
strange quark mass and almost physical light quark masses using lattices with temporal …

We calculate—for the first time in three-flavor lattice QCD—the hadronic matrix elements of
all five local operators that contribute to neutral B 0-and B s-meson mixing in and beyond the …

Scalar and tensor interactions were once competitors to the now well-established VA
structure of the standard model weak interactions. We revisit these interactions and survey …

We compute the form factors for the B→ K l+ l-semileptonic decay process in lattice QCD
using gauge-field ensembles with 2+ 1 flavors of sea quark, generated by the MILC …

The scalar strange-quark matrix element of the nucleon is computed with lattice QCD. A
mixed-action scheme is used with domain-wall valence fermions computed on the …
