摘要
The decay constants of B, D and K mesons are computed in quenched lattice QCD at two different values of the coupling. The action and operators are O(a) improved with non-perturbative coefficients. The results are f(B) = 195(6)(-) (+24)(23) MeV, f(D) = 206(4)(-10)(+17) MeV, f(Bs) = 220(6)(-28)(+23) MeV, f(Ds) = 229(3)(-12)(+23) MeV and f(K) = 150(3)(-8)(+12) MeV. 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. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
