Abstract

We derive the continuum and lattice tree-level moving NRQCD (mNRQCD) through order 1/m2. mNRQCD is a generalization of NRQCD for dealing with hadrons with nonzero velocity umu. The quark's total momentum is written as Pmu=Mumu+kmu where kmu << Mumu is discretized and Mumu is treated exactly. Radiative corrections to couplings on the lattice are discussed. mNRQCD is particularly useful for calculating B->pi and B->D form factors since errors are similar at low and high recoil.
