Mesonic decay constants in lattice NRQCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lattice NRQCD with leading finite lattice spacing errors removed is used to calculate decay constants of mesons made up of heavy quarks. Quenched simulations are done with a tadpole improved gauge action containing plaquette and six-link rectangular terms. The tadpole factor is estimated using the Landau link. For each of the three values of the coupling constant considered, quarkonia are calculated for five masses spanning the range from charmonium through bottomonium, and one set of quark masses is tuned to the B c. " Perturbative " and nonperturbative meson masses are compared. One-loop perturbative matching of lattice NRQCD with continuum QCD for the heavy-heavy vector and axial vector currents is performed. The data are consistent with af V ∝ √ M V a and f Bc = 420(13) MeV.

Heavy-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...

We present a lattice investigation of the heavy-light meson decay constants using Wilson light quarks and NRQCD heavy quarks, partially including the effects of dynamical sea quarks. We calculate the pseudoscalar and vector decay constants over a wide range in heavy quark mass and are able to perform a detailed analysis of heavy quark symmetry. We find consistency between the extrapolation of t...

We present quenched results for B meson decay constants using NRQCD b quarks and O(a) tadpole improved clover light quarks. For the first time, one-loop matching factors between lattice and continuum currents are incorporated through O(α/M) taking operator mixing fully into account. This includes an important O(α a) discretization correction to the heavy-light axial vector current. We find f B ...

Lattice NRQCD with leading finite lattice spacing errors removed is used to simulate heavy-heavy vector decay constants. Quenched simulations are performed at three values of the coupling and fifteen values of the quark mass. The improved gauge action with plaquettes and rectangles is used. Landau link improvement is used throughout. “Perturbative” and nonperturbative meson masses are compared....

We present results for the B s meson decay constant f B s from simulations at three lattice spacings in the range a Ϫ1 ϭ1.1 to 2.6 GeV using NRQCD heavy quarks and clover light quarks in the quenched approximation. We study the scaling of this quantity and check the consistency between mesons decaying from rest and from a state with a nonzero spatial momentum. The cancellation of power law cont...
