Pseudoscalar Decay Constants in Staggered Chiral Perturbation Theory

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2010-04-06 v3

Abstract

In a continuation of an ongoing program, we use staggered chiral perturbation theory to calculate the one-loop chiral logarithms and analytic terms in the pseudoscalar meson leptonic decay constants, fπ5+f_{\pi^+_5} and fK5+f_{K^+_5}. We consider the partially quenched, ``full QCD'' (with three dynamical flavors), and quenched cases.
