A proposal for B-physics on current lattices Blossier, Benoit; Dimopoulos, Petros; Frezzotti, Roberto; Herdoiza, Gregorio; Jansen, Karl; Lubicz, Vittorio; Martinelli, Guido; Michael, Chris; Rossi, Giancarlo; Shindler, Andrea; Simula, Silvano; Tarantino, Cecilia; Urbach, Carsten 2010-04-12 JHEP 2010 1-25 A method to extract B-physics parameters (b-quark mass and fB, fBs decay constants) from currently available lattice data is presented and tested. The approach is based on the idea of constructing appropriate ratios of heavy-light meson masses and decay constants, respectively, possessing a precisely known static limit, and evaluating them at various pairs of heavy quark masses around the charm. Via a smooth interpolation in the heavy quark mass from the easily accessible charm region to the asymptotic point, B-physics parameters are computed with a few percent (statistical + systematic) error using recently produced Nf = 2 maximally twisted Wilson fermions data.

fB and fBs with maximally twisted Wilson fermions Blossier, Benoit; Dimopoulos, Petros; Frezzotti, Roberto; Herdoiza, Gregorio; Jansen, Karl; Lubicz, Vittorio; Martinelli, Guido; Michael, Chris; Rossi, Giancarlo; Sanfilippo, Francesco; Shindler, Andrea; Simula, Silvano; Tarantino, Cecilia; Urbach, Carsten; Wagner, Marc 2010 151-158 We present a lattice QCD calculation of the heavy-light decay constants fB and fBs performed with Nf = 2 maximally twisted Wilson fermions, at four values of the lattice spacing. The decay constants have been also computed in the static limit and the results are used to interpolate the observables between the charmand the infinite-mass sectors, thus obtaining the value of the decay constants at the physical b quark mass. Our preliminary results are fB = 191(14)MeV, fBs = 243(14)MeV, fBs/ fB = 1.27(5). They are in good agreement with those obtained with a novel approach, recently proposed by our Collaboration (ETMC), based on the use of suitable ratios having an exactly known static limit.

Pseudoscalar decay constants of kaon and D-mesons from Nf=2 twisted mass Lattice QCD ETM, Collaboration; Blossier, Benoit; Dimopoulos, Petros; Frezzotti, Roberto; Haas, Benjamin; Herdoiza, Gregorio; Jansen, Karl; Lubicz, Vittorio; Mescia, Federico; Palao, David; Shindler, Andrea; Simula, Silvano; Tarantino, Cecilia; Urbach, Carsten 2009-07 Journal of High Energy Physics 07 043 We present the results of a lattice QCD calculation of the pseudoscalar meson decay constants fπ, fK, fD and fDs, performed with Nf=2 dynamical fermions. The simulation is carried out with the tree-level improved Symanzik gauge action and with the twisted mass fermionic action at maximal twist. We have considered for the final analysis three values of the lattice spacing, a = 0.10 fm, 0.09 fm and 0.07 fm, with pion masses down to mπ = 270 MeV. Our results for the light meson decay constants are fK = 158.1(2.4) MeV and fK/fπ = 1.210(18). From the latter ratio, by using the experimental determination of Γ(K → μbar nuμ(γ))/Γ(π → μbar nuμ(γ)) and the average value of |Vud| from nuclear beta decays, we obtain |Vus| = 0.2222(34), in good agreement with the determination from semileptonic Kl3 decays and the unitarity constraint. For the D and Ds meson decay constants we obtain fD = 197(9) MeV, fDs = 244(8) MeV and fDs/fD = 1.24(3). Our result for fD is in good agreement with the CLEO experimental measurement. For fDs our determination is smaller than the PDG 2008 experimental average but in agreement with a recent improved measurement by CLEO at the 1.4 σ level.
