abstract
We determine the decay rate to leptons of the ground-state $\Upsilon$ meson and its first radial excitation in lattice QCD for the first time. We use radiatively-improved NRQCD for the $b$ quarks and include $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks in the sea with $u/d$ masses down to their physical values. We find $\Gamma(\Upsilon \rightarrow e^+e^-)$ = 1.19(11) keV and $\Gamma(\Upsilon^{\prime} \rightarrow e^+e^-)$ = 0.69(9) keV, both in good agreement with experiment. The decay constants we obtain are included in a summary plot of meson decay constants from lattice QCD given in the Conclusions. We also test time-moments of the vector current-current correlator against values determined from the $b$ quark contribution to $\sigma(e^+e^- \rightarrow \mathrm{hadrons})$ and calculate the $b$-quark piece of the hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, $a_{\mu}^b = 0.271(37) \times 10^{-10}$. Finally we determine the $b$-quark mass, obtaining in the $\overline{MS}$ scheme, $\overline{m}_b(\overline{m}_b, n_f=5)$ = 4.196(23) GeV, the most accurate result from lattice QCD to date.

Lattice QCD on finer grids yields a_μ^LO-HVP = 715.1(3.4)×10^{-10}, producing a standard-model prediction for a_μ that differs from experiment by only 0.5 sigma.
Updated type-I seesaw analysis shows semileptonic tau decays like tau to lepton rho can dominate cLFV signals and some branching ratios may reach next-generation experiment sensitivity.
The FLAG 2024 review provides updated averages of lattice QCD determinations for quark masses, decay constants, form factors, mixing parameters, and nucleon matrix elements.
