title = "Charm semileptonic decays and|Vcs(d) from heavy clover quarks and 2+1 flavor asqtad staggered ensembles",
abstract = "By combining experimentally measured partial branching fractions for the semileptonic decays D→K and D→ with lattice calculations of the formfactors f D→K + (q2) and f D→ + (q2), one can extract the CKM matrix elements |Vcs| and |Vcd|. We are calculating the form factors by using Fermilab charm and asqtad staggered light and strange quarks on 2+1 flavor asqtad staggered ensembles generated by the MILC Collaboration. We vary the light valence quark masses from 0.4ms to 0.05ms (ms is the strange sea-quark mass), and the lattice spacings, from about 0.12 fm to about 0.045 fm. We extrapolate to the physical light-quark mass and the continuum limit using heavy-light meson staggered chiral perturbation theory about the SU(2) and SU(3) limits, compare the resulting (preliminary) form factor shapes with experiment, and discuss our errors.",

Funding Information: From the SU(2) (SU(3)) fits above, the statistical errors in f+D→pi(0) are 4% (4%), and those in f+D→K(0), 2.3% (3%). Important systematic errors are from heavy-quark lattice artifacts, the error in r1, and the error in the axial coupling gpi. Naively updating the gpi error reduces the projected systematics to 3.4% [14, 15]. A careful estimate of all systematics reflecting the entire data set has yet to be made; the difference between our present SU(2) and SU(3) curves is in some cases comparable to the other errors.
