We review the recent experimental results on D and Ds meson leptonic decays from CLEO-c, Belle, and BABAR, which results in the decay constants f_D= (206.7 +- 8.9) MeV and f_Ds= (257.3 +- 5.3) MeV. The latter is an average obtained by the…

I report preliminary CLEO-c results on purely leptonic decays of the Ds using 195/pb of data at 4.170 GeV. We measure fDs = 280.1 +/- 11.6 +/- 6.0 MeV, and fDs/fD+ = 1.26 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.03.

I report final CLEO-c results on the purely leptonic decays of the D_s^+ -> l^+ nu, for the cases when l^+ is a mu^+ or tau^+, when it decays into pi^+ anti-nu, using 314/pb of data at 4.170 GeV. I also include preliminary results from the…

We have studied the leptonic decay D^+_s to tau^+ nu_tau, via the decay channel tau^+ to e^+ nu_e anti-nu_tau, using a sample of tagged D_s^+ decays collected near the D^*_s D_s peak production energy in e^+ e^- collisions with the CLEO-c…

We update our previous results by increasing the luminosity, the efficiency, and for the Ds+ the number of tags. We determine f{D+}=(205.8 +/- 8.5 +/- 2.5) MeV, and an interim preliminary value of f{Ds+}=(267.9 +/- 8.2 +/- 3.9) MeV, where…

We study the radiative leptonic $D$ meson decays of $D^+_{(s)}\to \l^+\nu_{\l}\gamma$ ($\l=e,\mu,\tau$), $D^0\to \nu\bar{\nu}\gamma$ and $D^0\to \l^+\l^-\gamma$ ($l=e,\mu$) within the light front quark model. In the standard model, we find…

We present the leptonic decay constants fDs and fD+ computed on the MILC collaboration's 2+1 flavor asqtad gauge ensembles. We use clover heavy quarks with the Fermilab interpretation and improved staggered light quarks. The simultaneous…

Using CLEO data collected at 3370 MeV and 4170 MeV, we determine fD = (205.8 +- 8.5 +- 2.5) MeV and an interim preliminary value of fDs = (267.9 +- 8.2 +- 3.9) MeV, where both results are radiatively corrected. They agree with the recent…

We calculate the decay constant of $D_s$ and $D_s^{*}$ with $\bar{B}^0 \ra D^{+}\ell^{-}\nu$ and $\bar{B}^0 \ra D^{+}D_s^{-(*)}$ decays. In our analysis we assume that factorization ansatz works and used two different form factor behaviours…

In the last 25 years, many $e^+e^-$ experiments and fixed-target experiments performed to search for and study the leptonic decays of the $D^+$ and $D^+_s$ mesons. By 2012, more than 530 signal events of the $D^+$ leptonic decays and about…
