We present determinations of the B meson decay constant f_B and of the ratio f_{B_s}/f_B using the MILC collaboration unquenched gauge configurations which include three flavors of light sea quarks. The mass of one of the sea quarks is kept…
We present a two-flavor QCD calculation of $B_K$ on a $16^3 \times 32$ lattice at $a\sim 0.12$ fm (or equivalently $a^{-1}\sim$1.67 GeV). Both valence and sea quarks are described by the overlap fermion formulation. The matching factor is…
The use of improved staggered actions (HYP, Asqtad) has been proved to reduce the scaling corrections that affected previous calculations of B_K with unimproved (standard) staggered fermions in the quenched approximation. This improved…
