We calculate semileptonic form factors for the decays Bc→ηclν and Bc→J/ψlν over the entire q2 range, using a highly improved lattice quark action for charm at several lattice spacings down to a=0.045 fm.
We have two ways of treating the b quark: either with an O(αs) improved NRQCD formalism or by extrapolating a heavy mass mh to mb in the relativistic formalism.
Comparison of the two approaches provides an important cross-check of methodologies in lattice QCD.
Nonperturbative renormalisation of the currents in the relativistic theory also allows us then to fix NRQCD-charm normalisation for b to c decays such as B→D and B→D∗.
