Abstract

We report on the MILC Collaboration’s calculation of fB, fBs, fD, fDs, and their ratios. Our central values come from the quenched approximation, but the quenching error is estimated from NF = 2 dynamical staggered lattices. We use Wilson light valence quarks and Wilson and static heavy quarks. We find, for example, fB = 157 ± 11−9−0+25+23MeV, fBs/fB = 1.11 ± 0.02−0.3+0.04 ± 0.03, fDs = 210 ± 9−9−1+25+17MeV, and fB/fDs = 0.75 ± 0.03−0.02−0.00+0.04+0.08, where the errors are statistical, systematic (within the quenched approximation), and systematic (of quenching), respectively.
