Introduction is very crucial parameter to test Standard Model.

Exclusive decay can play a important role, but it is consistent with unitarity and inclusive decay due to large error dominated by theory.

We need more theoretical improvement for exclusive semileptonic decay.

How to reduce the error?

parameter

These parameters are very important for flavor physics. In Particular decay constant is already studied widely. B*Bpi coupling is determined almost 15% accuracy, crucial improvement is needed.

How to reduce the error?

(2) Further study dependencies of form factor

We could improve the precision if we can use the experimental data for the whole range.

Dispersive bound tells us the dependencies of transfer momentum about form factors.

Our method: Dispersive bound

How to obtain B*Bpi coupling

The B*B pi coupling is defined by the matrix element

In the static limit

Abada et al.

In full QCD we need significant improvement for precision, given limited configurations.

can be obtained by interpolating the results in static limit and charm region.

field. All-to-all propagators with low mode

averaging

- divide the light quark propagator into low and high mode

- Low mode : low eigenmodes of the Dirac Hamiltonian.

- High mode: using the standard random noise methods.

Summary and future prospects

19

Summary The stat. error remains tiny for all quark

masses, giving ~2% even in the chiral limit.

The error is dominated by systematic errors

6% from pert,

6% from chiral extrap, 6% from disc.

20

Reduce the errors

Non perturbative matching of axial vector current

feasible using PCAC relation Chiral extrapolation using unquenched

configs. with light sea quark masses. (ex. JLQCD,PACS-CS) Discretization error can reduced by

simulating of finer lattices.

error

We made an exploratory study of |Vub| determination with dispersive bounds and obtained promising preliminary results using partial set of inputs.

It is also consistent by recent result by Flynn, Nieves 2007.

We made simplifications which could introduce systematic errors. We should either discard such simplification or study systematic errors, which can make the error larger.

25

Finally

To improve the accuracy We can use the full range of data. We can also use inputs from soft pion

theorem with B*B pi coupling.

Need improvements for experiment and theoretical inputs.
