Lattice QCD Impact on Determination of the CKM Matrix

arXiv:1812.11211

Abstract

We review many lattice QCD calculations that impact the precise determination of the CKM matrix. We focus on decay constants and semileptonic form factors of both light ($π$ and K) and heavy-light ($D_{(s)}$ and $B_{(s)}$) mesons. Implication of $Λ_b$ form factors will be shown. When combined with experimental results for branching fractions and differential decay rates, the above calculations strongly constrain the first two rows of the CKM matrix. We discuss a long standing difference between $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$ as determined from exclusive or inclusive decays.
