Beyond the Standard Model physics. Reference [1] contains more details and

Kaon semileptonic decay form factors with HISQ valence quarks
Semileptonic decays of K and D mesons in 2 + 1 flavor QCD
The experimentally measured rates of the semileptonic decays K {yields} {pi}/{nu} and D {yields} K({pi})/{nu} can be combined with lattice calculations of the associated form factors to precisely extract the CKM matrix elements |V{sub us}| and |V{sub cs(d)}|. We report on the status of form factor calculations with Fermilab charm quarks and staggered light quarks on the 2+1 flavor asqtad staggered MILC ensembles. Analysis of data for the D {yields} {pi}/{nu} form factor provides a nontrivial test of our methods via comparison with CLEO data. We discuss the use of HISQ valence quarks to calculate the K {yields} {pi}/{nu} form factor f{sub +}{sup K{pi}}(0) and describe tests of our method

B -> D* l nu at zero recoil: an update
We present an update of our calculation of the form factor for {bar B} {yields} D*{ell}{bar {nu}} at zero recoil, with higher statistics and finer lattices. As before, we use the Fermilab action for b and c quarks, the asqtad staggered action for light valence quarks, and the MILC ensembles for gluons and light quarks (Luescher-Weisz married to 2+1 rooted staggered sea quarks). In this update, we have reduced the total uncertainty on F(1) from 2.6% to 1.7%

and Mixing in the Standard Model and Beyond: A Progress Report
We give a progress report on the calculation of B meson mixing matrix elements, focusing on contributions that could arise beyond the Standard Model. The calculation uses asqtad (light quark) and Fermilab (heavy quark) valence actions and MILC ensembles with 2+1 flavors of asqtad sea quarks. We report preliminary B{sub s}{sup 0} fit results, at a lattice spacing of 0.12 fm, for the SUSY basis of effective four-quark mixing operators and include an estimate for the final error budget
