We report on a study of QCD thermodynamics with three flavors of quarks, using a Symanzik improved gauge action and the Asqtad O(a^2) improved staggered quark action. Simulations were carried out with lattice spacings 1/4T, 1/6T and 1/8T…

We compute the leptonic decay constants $f_{D^+}$, $f_{D_s}$, and $f_{K^+}$, and the quark-mass ratios $m_c/m_s$ and $m_s/m_l$ in unquenched lattice QCD. We use the MILC highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) ensembles with four dynamical…

We present results for the spectrum and decay constants of B mesons from NRQCD using dynamical configurations at $\beta=5.6$ with two flavours of staggered fermions. The light quarks are generated using the Clover action with tadpole…

We present results on the sum of the masses of light and strange quark using improved staggered quarks. Our calculation uses 2+1 flavours of dynamical quarks. The effects of the dynamical quarks are clearly visible.

We combine a light AsqTad antiquark with a nonrelativistic heavy quark to compute the decay constants of heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons using the ensemble of 3-flavor gauge field configurations generated by the MILC collaboration.…

We present preliminary results for the D_s meson spectrum and decay constants in unquenched lattice QCD. Simulations are carried out with 2+1 dynamical quarks using gauge configurations generated by the MILC collaboration. We use the…

We present preliminary results from our calculation of the low energy constants (LECs) of the chiral effective theory for 3, 4 and 5 color QCD with $N_f=2$ dynamical fermion flavors. We simulate with clover fermions over a range of lattice…

We calculate the light pseudoscalar decay constants, f_pi and f_K, and their ratio using domain wall valence quarks and 2+1 flavors of dynamical staggered quarks. Use of the MILC gauge configurations allows us to simulate at several sea…

The light quark results from three different simulations are summarized. We get consistent results, within our statistics, between smeared and non smeared data. A comparison is performed with similar results from the UKQCD collaboration.…

We review recent results for B_d and B_s mixing parameters using MILC N_f=2+1 lattices, NRQCD b-quarks and AsqTad light quarks. Latest numbers for decay constants f_B and f_{B_s} are also presented. Combining our lattice results with…

We calculate the leptonic decay constants of B_{(s)} and D_{(s)} mesons in lattice QCD using staggered light quarks and Fermilab bottom and charm quarks. We compute the heavy-light meson correlation functions on the MILC asqtad-improved…

Within the framework of the $U(3)$ chiral perturbation theory, we revisit the masses, decay constants and the mixing parameters of the light pseudoscalar mesons $\pi, K, \eta$ and $\eta'$. The low energy constants up to…

Algorithmic and technical progress achieved over the last few years makes QCD simulations with light dynamical quarks much faster than before. As a result lattices with pions as light as 250--300 MeV can be simulated with the present…

We compare calculations of B_K with improved staggered quarks (HYP, Asqtad) and demonstrate the improved scaling behaviour that this gives rise to over previous calculations with unimproved staggered quarks. This enables us to perform the…

The flavor $ud$ and $us$ pseudoscalar correlators are investigated using families of finite energy sum rules (FESR's) known to be very accurately satisfied in the isovector vector channel. It is shown that the combination of constraints…

Preliminary results from the MILC collaboration for $f_B$, $f_{B_s}$, $f_D$, $f_{D_s}$ and their ratios are presented. We compute in the quenched approximation at $\beta=6.3$, 6.0 and 5.7 with Wilson light quarks and static and Wilson heavy…

In this second report on our recent numerical simulations of two-flavour QCD, we provide further technical details on the simulations and describe the methods we used to extract the meson masses and decay constants from the generated…

We present first results for light hadron masses, quark masses and decay constants in the continuum limit using O(a) improved fermions at three different values of the gauge coupling \beta.

We present preliminary results for the heavy-light leptonic decay constants in the presence of three light dynamical flavors. We generate dynamical configurations with improved staggered and gauge actions and analyze them for heavy-light…

We present results for meson masses and decay constants measured on 24^3x64 lattices using the domain wall fermion formulation with an extension of the fifth dimension of L_s=16 for N_f=2+1 dynamical quark flavors. The lightest dynamical…
