The Isgur-Wise Limit on the Lattice

Abstract

We construct the Isgur-Wise limit of QCD in a form appropriate to lattice gauge theory techniques. The formulation permits a calculation of heavy quark processes even when the momentum transfers are much larger than the inverse lattice spacing. Applications include semi-leptonic heavy quark decay and scattering processes, including the computation of the nonperturbative part of the Isgur-Wise universal function.
