Form factors for semi-leptonic B decays
We report on form factors for the B->K l^+ l^- semi-leptonic decay process.
We use several lattice spacings from a=0.12 fm down to 0.06 fm and a variety of
dynamical quark masses with 2+1 flavors of asqtad quarks provided by the MILC
Collaboration. These ensembles allow good control of the chiral and continuum
extrapolations. The b-quark is treated as a clover quark with the Fermilab
interpretation. We update our results for f_\parallel and f_\perp, or,
equivalently, f_+ and f_0. In addition, we present new results for the tensor
form factor f_T. Model independent results are obtained based upon the
z-expansion.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, presented at The XXXth International Symposium on

Form Factors for to Semileptonic Decay from Three-Flavor Lattice QCD
We study the B {yields} Kl{sup +}l{sup -} semileptonic decay process in three-flavor lattice QCD. We analyze several ensembles generated by theMILC collaboration at different lattice spacings and sea-quark masses. We use the asqtad improved staggered action for the light quarks and the clover action with the Fermilab interpretation for the heavy b quark. We present preliminary results for the vector current induced form factors for a range of kaon energies. Our analysis includes chiral and continuum extrapolations based on SU(2) staggered {chi}PT

Simplified Models for LHC New Physics Searches
This document proposes a collection of simplified models relevant to the design of new-physics searches at the LHC and the characterization of their results. Both ATLAS and CMS have already presented some results in terms of simplified models, and we encourage them to continue and expand this effort, which supplements both signature-based results and benchmark model interpretations. A simplified model is defined by an effective Lagrangian describing the interactions of a small number of new particles. Simplified models can equally well be described by a small number of masses and cross-sections. These parameters are directly related to collider physics observables, making simplified models a particularly effective framework for evaluating searches and a useful starting point for characterizing positive signals of new physics. This document serves as an official summary of the results from the 'Topologies for Early LHC Searches' workshop, held at SLAC in September of 2010, the purpose of which was to develop a set of representative models that can be used to cover all relevant phase space in experimental searches. Particular emphasis is placed on searches relevant for the first {approx} 50-500 pb{sup -1} of data and those motivated by supersymmetric models. This note largely summarizes material posted at http://lhcnewphysics.org/, which includes simplified model definitions, Monte Carlo material, and supporting contacts within the theory community. We also comment on future developments that may be useful as more data is gathered and analyzed by the experiments
