HEAVYDWF · Charm and Bottom flavour physics with chiral lattice fermions

This proposal plans to develop simulations of heavy quark phenomenology in2+1f QCD with the vacuum effects of up, down and strange quarks simulated directlyat physical quark masses. Heavy quarks in the region of the physical charm quark mass will beincluded in the valence approximation, and for a number of masses, which whencombined with extrapolations making use of heavy quark symmetry will facilitatethe prediction of the phenomenology and weak interactions of charm and bottom meson systems.All fermions will make use of chirally symmetric fermion formulations, and this willbring particular simplification to the predictive calculation of the weak interaction amplitudesthat constrain searches for new physics in experiments such as the LHC.
