The Ds and D+ Leptonic Decay Constants from Lattice QCD

Bazavov, A., Bernard, C., DeTar, C. et al.

Understand

We present the leptonic decay constants fDs and fD+ computed on the MILC collaboration's 2+1 flavor asqtad gauge ensembles.

  • We use clover heavy quarks with the Fermilab interpretation and improved staggered light quarks.
  • The simultaneous chiral and continuum extrapolation, which determines both decay constants, includes partially-quenched lattice results at lattice spacings a ~ 0:09, 0:12 and 0:15 fm.
  • We have made several recent improvements in our analysis: a) we include terms in the fit describing leading order heavy-quark discretization effects, b) we have adopted a more precise input r1 value consistent with our other D and B meson studies, c) we have retuned the input bare charm masses based upon the new r1.
