Description
We perform a non-perturbative lattice calculation of the decay rates for inclusive semi-leptonic decays of charmed mesons. In view of the long-standing tension in the determination of the CKM matrix elements $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$ from exclusive and inclusive processes, recently, the use of lattice QCD has been extended towards the description of inclusive decays. Since the determination of hadronic input parameters from QCD based methods require independent tests, we focus on the charm sector, since it not only offers experimental data, but also well determined CKM parameters.
We carry out a pilot lattice simulation for the $D_s \rightarrow X_s \ell\nu$ and explore the improvement of existing techniques. Our simulation employs Möbius domain-wall charm and strange quarks whose masses are tuned to be approximately physical and we cover the whole kinematical region. We report on our progress in analyzing different sources of systematic effects, especially the contribution from the extrapolation of the kernel function chosen for the Chebsyhev approximation.
