Predictions with Lattice QCD
Abstract
Description
In recent years, we used lattice QCD to calculate some quantities that were unknown or poorly known. They are the $q^2$ dependence of the form factor in semileptonic $D\to Klν$ decay, the leptonic decay constants of the $D^+$ and $D_s$ mesons, and the mass of the $B_c$ meson. In this paper, we summarize these calculations, with emphasis on their (subsequent) confirmation by measurements in $e^+e^-$, $γp$ and $\bar{p}p$ collisions.
