Abstract
We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the form factors for the standard model tree-level decay Bs → Klν. In combination with future measurement, this calculation will provide an alternative exclusive semileptonic determination of jVubj. We compare our results with previous model calculations, make predictions for differential decay rates and branching fractions, and predict the ratio of differential branching fractions between Bs → Kτν and Bs → Kμν. We also present standard model predictions for differential decay rate forward-backward asymmetries and polarization fractions and calculate potentially useful ratios of Bs → K form factors with those of the fictitious Bs → ηs decay. Our lattice simulations utilize nonrelativistic QCD b and highly improved staggered light quarks on a subset of the MILC Collaboration 2 þ 1 asqtad gauge configurations, including two lattice spacings and a range of light quark masses.
