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…

We present the results of a perturbative calculation to match the axial and vector currents for semileptonic $B\to D^{(\ast)}$ decays in lattice NRQCD to the continuum \MSb scheme. The matching is performed to $O(\alpha_s\frac{\vec{p}}{M})$…

We revisit QCD sum rules for the decay constants of heavy-light mesons. In the sum rules for the vector mesons B^*_(s) and D^*_(s) we improve the accuracy of OPE, taking into account the O(alpha_s^2) terms in the perturbative part and…

We present updates from QCDSF/UKQCD/CSSM on the $SU(3)_f$ breaking in $B$ meson decay constants. The $b$-quarks are generated with an anisotropic clover-improved action, and are tuned to match properties of the physical $B$ and $B^*$…
