Heavy-Light Meson Decay Constant from QCD Sum Rules in Three-Loop Approximation
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we compute the decay constant of the pseudo-scalar heavy-light mesons in the heavy quark effective theory framework of QCD sum rules. In our analysis we include the recently evaluated three-loop result of order αs for the heavy-light current correlator. The value of the bottom quark mass, which essentially limits the accuracy of the sum rules for B meson, is extracted from the nonrelativistic sum rules for Υ resonances in the next-to-next-to-leading approximation. We find an impressive stability of our result with respect to all types of corrections and the specific form of the sum rule which essentially reduces the uncertainty. Our results fB = 206±20 MeV and fD = 195±20 MeV for the B and D meson decay constants are in impressive agreement with recent lattice calculations. PACS numbers: 12.38.Lg, 14.40.Nd, 14.40.Lb

Finite Mass Corrections to Leptonic Decay Constants in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory
We calculate finite mass corrections to leptonic decay constants in HQET using QCD sum rules. The results are given to two–loop accuracy including renormalization group analysis. The contribution of unknown two–loop anomalous dimension matrix–elements is estimated. We find that the 1/mQ corrections to fP , the decay constant of a pseudoscalar meson, amount −(23 ± 4 ± 2)% for the B meson. The fi...
متن کاملScaling and further tests of heavy meson decay constant determinations from nonrelativistic QCD
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...
متن کاملLight-cone sum rules in soft-collinear effective theory
We derive light-cone sum rules (LCSRs) for exclusive B-meson decays into light energetic hadrons from correlation functions within soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). In these sum rules the short-distance scale refers to “hard-collinear” interactions with virtualities of order ΛQCDmb. Hard scales (related to virtualities of order mb) are integrated out and enter via external coefficient fun...
متن کاملRadiative B → K ∗ γ transition in QCD
We evaluate the branching ratios of the radiative decays B → Kγ, and B → K1γ in the framework of three-point function QCD sum rules. We find: Γ(B → Kγ)/Γ(b → sγ) = 0.17 ± 0.05 and Γ(B → K1γ)/Γ(b → sγ) = 0.30 ± 0.15. We also study, in the infinite quark mass limit, the connection between the form factor of the radiative B → Kγ transition and the weak hadronic form factors entering the semilepton...
متن کاملComputation of the heavy-light decay constant using nonrelativistic lattice QCD.
We report results on a lattice calculation of the heavy-light meson decay constant employing the non-relativistic QCD approach for heavy quark and Wilson action for light quark. Simulations are carried out at β = 6.0 on a 16 × 48 lattice. Signal to noise ratio for the ground state is significantly improved compared to simulations in the static approximation, enabling us to extract the decay con...
