Abstract
Weak decays of beautiful mesons can be used to probe the validity of our best model of particle physics: the Standard Model. In this thesis, I use specialised techniques to overcome practical challenges associated with the large mass of valence
I then present a comprehensive calculation of the
Next, exploratory work on the long-distance contributions of charmonia on the flavour-changing neutral current process
Finally, I digress from weak decays to explore applications of the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula within the framework of lattice QCD. I find computational efficiencies in determining the inverse and the determinant of quark matrices. Potential applications are discussed.
