Abstract: (APS)
We calculate the form factors for the BD*ν decay in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD. For all quark flavors, we employ the Möbius domain-wall action, which preserves chiral symmetry to a good precision. Our gauge ensembles are generated at three lattice cutoffs a-12.5, 3.6, and 4.5 GeV with pion masses as low as Mπ230MeV. The physical lattice size L satisfies the condition MπL4 to control finite volume effects (FVEs), while we simulate a smaller size at the smallest Mπ to directly examine FVEs. The bottom quark masses are chosen in a range from the physical charm quark mass to 0.7a-1 to control discretization effects. We extrapolate the form factors to the continuum limit and physical quark masses based on heavy meson chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order. Then the recoil parameter dependence is parametrized using a model independent form leading to our estimate of the decay rate ratio between the tau (=τ) and light lepton (=e, μ) channels R(D*)=0.252(22) in the Standard Model. A simultaneous fit with recent data from the Belle experiment yields |Vcb|=39.19(91)×10-3, which is consistent with previous exclusive determinations, and shows good consistency in the kinematical distribution of the differential decay rate between the lattice and experimental data.
