Description

We present an update of our calculation of the form factor for $B\to D^* l \nu$ at zero recoil, with higher statistics and further, finer, lattices. As before, we use the Fermilab action for $b$ and $c$ quarks, the asqtad staggered action for light valence quarks, and the MILC ensembles for gluons and light quarks (L\"uscher-Weisz married to 2+1 rooted staggered sea quarks).
Please, insert your presentation type (talk, poster) talk
