Lattice Results For Heavy Quark Physics

Abstract

The status of lattice calculations for heavy quark systems is reviewed, focussing on weak matrix elements for leptonic and semi-leptonic decays of heavy mesons. After an assessment of the main systematic errors, results for the decay constants $f_D$ and $f_B$, the $B$ parameter describing $B-\bar{B}$ mixing, the Isgur-Wise function and the spectroscopy of heavy baryons are discussed.
