We calculate the B-meson decay constants f_B, f_Bs, and their ratio in unquenched lattice QCD using domain-wall light quarks and relativistic b-quarks. We use gauge-field ensembles generated by the RBC and UKQCD collaborations using the…

We improve a previous quenched result for heavy-light pseudoscalar meson decay constants with the light quark taken to be the strange quark. A finer lattice resolution (a ~ 0.05 fm) in the continuum limit extrapolation of the data computed…

We have computed the decay constants for the $B$ and $D$ mesons, using quenched lattices at $\beta=6.3$, by interpolating between the static approximation of Eichten and the conventional (``heavy'' Wilson fermion) method. A more careful…

Results in the quenched approximation for SU(3) breaking ratios of the heavy-light decay constants and the $\Delta F=2$ mixing matrix elements are reported. Using lattice simulations at $6/g^2=5.7$, 5.85, 6.0, and 6.3, we directly compute…

We summarize the present status of lattice gauge theory computations of the leptonic decay constants $f_D$ and $f_B$. The various sources of systematic errors are explained in a manner easily understood by the non--expert. The results…

A novel method to calculate f_B on the lattice is introduced, based on the study of the dependence of finite size effects upon the heavy quark mass of flavoured mesons and on a non-perturbative recursive finite size technique. We avoid the…
