Decay constants of B and D mesons from non-perturbatively improved lattice QCD

Decay constants of B and D mesons from non-perturbatively improved lattice QCD
Decay constants of B and D mesons from non-perturbatively improved lattice QCD
The decay constants of B, D and K mesons are computed in quenched lattice QCD at two different values of the coupling. The action and operators are improved with non-perturbative coefficients. The results are fB=195(6)+24?23 MeV, fD=206(4)+17?10 MeV, fBs=220(6)+23?28 MeV, fDs=229(3)+23?12 MeV and fK=150(3)+12?8 MeV. Systematic errors are discussed in detail. Results for vector decay constants, flavour symmetry breaking ratios of decay constants, the pseudoscalar-vector mass splitting and D meson masses are also presented.

Abstract

The decay constants of B, D and K mesons are computed in quenched lattice QCD at two different values of the coupling. The action and operators are improved with non-perturbative coefficients. The results are fB=195(6)+24?23 MeV, fD=206(4)+17?10 MeV, fBs=220(6)+23?28 MeV, fDs=229(3)+23?12 MeV and fK=150(3)+12?8 MeV. Systematic errors are discussed in detail. Results for vector decay constants, flavour symmetry breaking ratios of decay constants, the pseudoscalar-vector mass splitting and D meson masses are also presented.
