Heavy-light decay constants from the step scaling method

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We discuss results for the heavy-light decay constants in the continuum limit of quenched lattice QCD from finite size scaling techniques. We disentangle the simultaneous presence of the different energy scales characterizing heavy-light physics by first performing simulations at the unphysical volume L_0=0.4 fm, and then evolving the results towards the infinite volume. We find f_{Bs}= 192(6)(4) MeV and f_{Ds}=240(5)(5) MeV. The approach has been developed by the APE group at the University of Rome ``Tor Vergata''.
