The $B^*B\pi$ coupling with relativistic heavy quarks

Understand

We report on a calculation of the $B^*B\pi$ coupling in lattice QCD.

The strong matrix element $\langle B \pi | B^*\rangle$ is directly related to the leading order low-energy constant in heavy meson chiral perturbation theory (HM$\chi$PT) for $B$-mesons.
We carry out our calculation directly at the $b$-quark mass using a non-perturbatively tuned clover action that controls discretisation effects of order $|\vec{p}a|$ and $(ma)^n$ for all $n$.
Our analysis is performed on RBC/UKQCD gauge configurations using domain wall fermions and the Iwasaki gauge action at two lattice spacings of $a^{-1}=1.73(3)$ GeV, $a^{-1}=2.28(3)$ GeV, and unitary pion masses down to 290 MeV.
