Abstract

We present our results of lattice calculations of BB parameters, which parameterize ΔB\Delta B=2 transition amplitudes together with the leptonic decay constant. Calculations are made in the quenched approximation at β\beta=5.7, 5.9, 6.0 and 6.1, using NRQCD action for heavy quark and the O(a)O(a)-improved Wilson action for light quark. The operators are perturbatively renormalized including the correction of O(αs/(aM)m)O(\alpha_s/(aM)^m) (mm\ge0). We examine the scaling behavior of BB parameters, and discuss the systematic uncertainties based on the results with several different truncations of higher order terms in 1/M and αs\alpha_s expansions. We find BBd(mb)=0.84(3)(5)B_{B_d}(m_b)=0.84(3)(5), BBs/BBd=1.020(21)(16+15)(0+5)B_{B_s}/B_{B_d}=1.020(21)(^{+15}_{-16})(^{+5}_{-0}) and BSs(mb)=0.85(1)(5)(0+1)B_{S_s}(m_b)=0.85(1)(5)(^{+1}_{-0}) in the quenched approximation. The errors represent statistical and systematic as well as the uncertainty in the determination of strange quark mass.
