# B Physics on the Lattice: $\overline{\Lambda}$, $\lambda_{1}$, $\overline{m}_{b}(\overline{m}_{b})$, $\lambda_2$, $B^{0}-\bar{B}^{0}$ mixing, $\fb$ and all that

## TL;DR

This paper reviews high-statistics lattice QCD calculations of key parameters in B physics within HQET, including binding energies, quark masses, meson mass splittings, mixing parameters, and decay constants, using multiple lattice simulations.

## Contribution

It provides the first comprehensive non-perturbative lattice determination of several fundamental B physics parameters within HQET, combining results from multiple lattice spacings.

## Key findings

- Precise estimates of $ar{ ext{Lambda}}$ and $ar{m}_b$ from three lattice spacings.
- Determination of the $B^*-B$ mass splitting via chromo-magnetic operator matrix element.
- Calculation of the B meson decay constant and mixing parameter with high statistical accuracy.

## Abstract

We present a short review of our most recent high statistics lattice determinations in the HQET of the following important parameters in B physics: the B--meson binding energy, $\overline{\Lambda}$ and the kinetic energy of the b quark in the B meson, $\lambda_1$, which due to the presence of power divergences require a non--perturbative renormalization to be defined; the $\overline{MS}$ running mass of the b quark, $\overline{m}_{b}(\overline{m}_{b})$; the $B^{*}$--$B$ mass splitting, whose value in the HQET is determined by the matrix element of the chromo--magnetic operator between B meson states, $\lambda_2$; the B parameter of the $B^{0}$--$\bar{B}^{0}$ mixing, $B_{B}$, and the decay constant of the B meson, $f_{B}$. All these quantities have been computed using a sample of $600$ gauge field configurations on a $24^{3}\times 40$ lattice at $\beta=6.0$. For $\overline{\Lambda}$ and $\overline{m}_{b}(\overline{m}_{b})$, we obtain our estimates by combining results from three independent lattice simulations at $\beta=6.0$, $6.2$ and $6.4$ on the same volume.
