Decay Constants of B and D Mesons from Non-pertubatively Improved Lattice QCD

Journal Article · · Elsevier Preprint
OSTI ID:760436
The decay constants of B and D mesons are computed in quenched lattice QCD at two different values of the coupling. The action and operators are ? (a) improved with non-perturbative coefficients where available. The results and 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.
