Decay Constants of Heavy-Light Mesons

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

The decay constants of the heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons are studied in a high statistics run using the Wilson action at β=6.0\beta=6.0 and β=6.2\beta=6.2, and the clover action at β=6.0\beta=6.0. The systematics of O(a)O(a) discretisation errors are discussed. Our best estimates of the decay constants are: fDf_D = 218(9) MeV, fD/fDsf_D/f_{Ds} = 1.11(1) and we obtain preliminary values for fBf_B.
