We present a high statistics study of the D- and B-meson decay constants. The results were obtained by using the Clover and Wilson lattice actions at $\beta=6.0$ and 6.2.
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…
We present a study of leptonic $B$ meson decay constants in lattice QCD with two flavors ($N_f=2$) of light dynamical quarks using NRQCD for the heavy quark. Gauge configurations are generated with a renormalization-group improved gauge…
We present a determination of the decay constants of the $D$ and $D_s$ mesons from lattice QCD, each with a total error of about 2%, approximately a factor of three better than previous calculations. We have been able to achieve this…
Data in $B$-meson decays indicate violations of lepton flavour universality, thereby raising the question about such phenomena in the charm sector. We perform a model-independent analysis of NP contributions in (semi)-leptonic decays of…
An analysis of charm mesons decaying semileptonically via Flavor Changing Neutral Currents is presented. We calculate the Wilson coefficients within the Standard Model. A window in the decay distribution, where physics beyond the Standard…
We report on a two-flavor lattice QCD estimate of the $B_s$ and $B^*_s$ leptonic decays parameterized by the decay constants $f_{B_s}$ and $f_{B^*_s}$. In addition to their relevance for phenomenology, their extraction has allowed us to…

We have searched for flavor-changing neutral current decays and lepton-number-violating decays of D^+ and D^+_s mesons to final states of the form h^+- e^-+ e^+, where h is either \pi or K. We use the complete samples of CLEO-c open-charm…
In this talk, we report the recent measurements of (semi)leptonic decays of charm mesons from the BESIII experiment, including $D^+\to\mu^+\nu_\mu$, $D^+\to\tau^+\nu_\tau$, $D^+\to\eta^\prime\ell^+\nu_\ell$, and $D^{0(+)}\to\bar…
We present a high statistics study of the D- and B-meson decay constants. The results were obtained by using the Clover and Wilson lattice actions at two different values of the lattice spacing $a$, corresponding to $\beta=6.0$ and 6.2.…
To the leading order, the radiative leptonic decays $B_c \to \gamma \ell \bar \nu$ ($ \ell=e, \mu$) are studied carefully. In the study, a non-relativistic constituent quark model and the effective Lagrangian for the heavy flavour decays…

The purely leptonic decays Ds -> tau nu and Ds -> mu nu are studied in a sample of four million hadronic Z decays collected with the ALEPH detector at the LEP e+e- collider from 1991 to 1995. The branching fractions are extracted from a…
We present a calculation of the leptonic decay-constant ratio $f_K/f_\pi$ in 2+1 flavor QCD. Our data set includes five lattice spacings and pion masses reaching down below the physical one. Special emphasis is placed on a careful study of…
We present the results of a lattice QCD calculation of the pseudoscalar meson decay constants fpi, fK, fD and fDs, performed with Nf=2 dynamical fermions. The simulation is carried out with the tree-level improved Symanzik gauge action and…
Capitalizing on recent advances in lattice QCD, we present a calculation of the leptonic decay constants f_{B_s} and f_{D_s} that includes effects of one strange sea quark and two light sea quarks. The discretization errors of improved…
I study (for the first time) the dependence of M_D and of the leptonic decay constant f_D on the variation of the running charm quark mass m_c(\nu). I conclude that the present data on f_{D_s} from D_s into \mu\nu decay give a weaker…
Results from recent lattice calculations of the decay constants $f_B$ and $f_D$ are reviewed. A discussion of the methods currently used is presented, together with an outline of the various systematic effects involved.
With usage of obvious mechanisms of quark currents the amplitudes of leptonic decaies of pseudoscalar mesons are investigated. The estimation for a constant of leptonic decay of the D+ meson is obtained, f_D+ ~ 0.23 GeV.
