Γ(L, M)

Γstat(L)

B-meson mass in a finite volume of extent L4

⇒ Matching condition by equating in small volume with linear extent L0 :

Γstat(L0) + mbare = Γ(L0, Mb) [ Recall: mbare = m + 1a

ln(1 + a δm) ]

As C(x0)x0→∞

∼ e−mBx0 and Cstat(x0)x0→∞

∼ e−Estatx0 in the large – L

limit, we have to connect this condition (by finite-size scaling) to

Estat + mbare = mB

Quenched b-quark’s mass to order Λ2/mb in HQET

Result in the MS scheme (reported @ Lattice Conference 2005):

mb (mb) = mstatb + m

b mstatb = 4.35(6)GeV , m(1)

b = −0.05(3)GeV

= 4.30(7)

Though quenched approximation, well within range quoted by PDG

Difficult piece: Large-volume HQET matrix element [Ekin − Γkin1 (L2)]

Summary & Outlook

I Predictive power of lattice QCD demands high precision:→ Overcoming the error from the quenched approximation is under way→ Several & fine enough resolutions required to quantify cutoff effects

I New quality of the computations employing lattice HQET:X Non-perturbative formulation including the matchingX Continuum limit at large quark masses (small-volume setup !)X Renormalization of 1/m – terms can be performed non-perturbatively

[ Della Morte et al., PoS LAT2005 (2005) 223&224, LPHAACollaboration 3 H. ]

X Physics results still quenched, but extension of the methods to QCDwith dynamical quarks (Nf > 0) straightforward and already started

[ first steps towards FBs for Nf = 2: Della Morte, Fritzsch & H. ]

I Next steps, resp. related work in progress:→ Decay constant FB

→ Spin-splitting mB∗ − mB

→ NP matching for Nf = 2
