Charmed-Baryon Spectroscopy from Lattice QCD with N_f=2+1+1 Flavors
hep-lat 2012-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

A 2+1+1-flavor lattice QCD calculation extrapolated to the continuum predicts masses for the undiscovered baryons Xi_cc*, Omega_cc, Omega_cc* and Omega_ccc, and puts Xi_cc about 76 MeV above the SELEX value.
The B -> pi l nu semileptonic form factor from three-flavor lattice QCD: A model-independent determination of |V(ub)|
hep-lat 2008-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

A combined lattice-QCD and BABAR analysis yields |Vub| = 3.38 ± 0.36 × 10⁻³ using a model-independent z-expansion fit, the first such determination to include a continuum extrapolation.
Singly and Doubly Charmed J=1/2 Baryon Spectrum from Lattice QCD
hep-lat 2009-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

Full-QCD lattice simulation yields M_Xi_cc = 3665 (+0/-78) MeV and M_Omega_cc - M_Xi_cc = 98 +/- 26 MeV, with the splitting free of the leading lattice discretization error.
New lattice action for heavy quarks
hep-lat 2008-03 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

A new lattice action for heavy quarks, with tree-level matching of dimension-6 and dimension-7 interactions, is estimated to reduce discretization errors below 1% at currently available lattice spacings.
Relativistic Heavy Quark Effective Action
hep-lat 2006-08 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

A lattice action with only three tunable parameters (m0, zeta, cP) suffices to remove heavy-quark discretization errors through first order in spatial momentum and all orders in the quark mass times lattice spacing.
