Abstract

We discuss the reduction of errors in the calculation of the form factor f + (0) with HISQ fermions on the Nf = 2+1+1 MILC configurations from increased statistics on some key ensembles, new data on ensembles with lattice spacings down to 0:042 fm and the study of finite-volume effects within staggered ChPT. We also study the implications for the unitarity of the CKM matrix in the first row and for current tensions with leptonic determinations of |Vus|.
