Abstract

Lattice QCD calculations of form factors for rare Standard Model processes such as B → K ℓ + ℓ − use tensor currents that require renormalisation. These renormalisation factors, Z T , have typically been calculated within perturbation theory and the estimated uncertainties from missing higher order terms are significant. Here we study tensor current renormalisation using lattice implementations of momentum-subtraction schemes. Such schemes are potentially more accurate but have systematic errors from nonperturbative artefacts. To determine and remove these condensate contributions we calculate the ground-state charmonium tensor decay constant, f T J / ψ , which is also of interest in beyond the Standard Model studies. We obtain f T J / ψ ( MS , 2 G e V ) = 0.3927 ( 27 ) GeV, with ratio to the vector decay constant of 0.9569(52), significantly below 1. We also give Z T factors, converted to the M S scheme, corrected for condensate contamination. This contamination reaches 1.5% at a renormalisation scale of 2 GeV (in the preferred RI-SMOM scheme) and so must be removed for accurate results.
