We determine $D$ and $D_s$ decay constants from lattice QCD with 2% errors, 4 times better than experiment and previous theory: $f_{D_s}$ = 241(3) MeV, $f_D$ = 207(4) MeV and $f_{D_s}/f_D$ = 1.164(11). We also obtain $f_K/f_{\pi}$ =…

We report on the MILC collaboration's calculation of $f_B$, $f_{B_s}$, $f_D$, $f_{D_s}$, and their ratios. Our central values come from the quenched approximation, but the quenching error is estimated from $N_F=2$ dynamical staggered…
