Progress Calculating Decay Constants with NRQCD and AsqTad Actions
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. Preliminary results for fBs and fDs are given and status of the chiral extrapolation to fB is reported. We also touch upon results of the perturbative calculation which matches matrix elements in the effective theory to the full theory at 1-loop order.

fB and the Heavy-light Spectrum from NRQCD
B physics is a subject of active research. The theoretical and experimental understanding of the B meson and b baryon spectrum is just beginning. Weak matrix elements of B mesons, e.g. fB, fBs , BB, and BBs are being studied to determine fundamental parameters of the Standard Model. This review summarizes the progress made in calculating the B spectrum and decay constants using the nonrelativis...
متن کاملHeavy-Light Mesons with Quenched Lattice NRQCD: Results on Decay Constants
We present a quenched lattice calculation of heavy-light meson decay constants, using non-relativistic (NRQCD) heavy quarks in the mass region of the b quark and heavier, and clover-improved light quarks. The NRQCD Hamiltonian and the heavy-light current include the corrections at first order in the expansion in the inverse heavy quark mass. We study the dependence of the decay constants on the...

One-loop matching of heavy-light currents is carried out for a highly improved lattice action, including the effects of mixings with dimension 4 O(1/M) and O(a) operators. We use the NRQCD action for heavy quarks, the Asqtad improved naive action for light quarks, and the Symanzik improved glue action. These results are being used in recent heavy meson decay constant and semileptonic form facto...
متن کاملHeavy-light physics using NRQCD-staggered actions
One leading source of uncertainty in the lattice computation of semi-leptonic form factors in B decay, and to a lesser extent B meson decay constants, comes from the extrapolation of the light quark mass to the physical up/down mass. This talk presents first explorations of simulating the light quark with staggered fermion actions, which are free of the spurious zero modes that effect Wilson-li...
متن کاملB and B C Mesons with Nrqcd and Clover Actions
We present preliminary results from our study of the heavy-light spectrum and decay constants. For the heavy quark, we use NRQCD at various masses around and above the b quark mass. For the first time, the heavy quark action and the heavy-light current consistently include corrections at second order in the non-relativistic expansion, as well as the leading finite a corrections. The light quark...
