Domain Wall Fermions as heavy quark discretisation

Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics represents the theoretical formulation of QCD that allows for the computation of low-energy hadronic properties in the domain where the perturbative methods fail. A chirally symmetric discretisation of the fermion action, known as Domain Wall Fermions (DWF), has played a crucial role in the broad light flavour phenomenology program of the RBC/UKQCD collaborations. In order to apply the same fermion discretisation in the light, as well as the heavy quark sector, a number of properties of the heavy DWF needed to be understood. In this talk I will present the systematic studies of the applicability of Domain Wall discretisation to heavy quark physics. The outcomes of these studies allow us to proceed using heavy DWF in dynamical simulations of lattice QCD.
