$f_B$ quenched and unquenched

Results for $f_B$, $f_{B_s}$, $f_D$, $f_{D_s}$, and their ratios are presented. High statistics quenched runs at $β=5.7$, $5.85$, $6.0$, and $6.3$, plus a run still in progress at $β=6.52$ make possible a preliminary extrapolation to the continuum. The data allows good control of all systematic errors except for quenching, although not all of the error estimates have been finalized. Results from configurations which include effects of dynamical quarks show a significant deviation from the quenched results and make possible a crude estimate of the quenching error.

Status and prospect for determining $f_B$, $f_{B_s}$, $f_{B_s} / f_B$ on the lattice

Preliminary results from the MILC collaboration for $f_B$, $f_{B_s}$, $f_D$, $f_{D_s}$ and their ratios are presented. We compute in the quenched approximation at $β=6.3$, 6.0 and 5.7 with Wilson light quarks and static and Wilson heavy quarks. We attempt to quantify all systematic errors other than quenching, and have a first indication of the size of quenching errors.

Preliminary heavy-light decay constants from the MILC collaboration

Preliminary results from the MILC collaboration for $f_B$, $f_{B_s}$, $f_D$, $f_{D_s}$ and their ratios are presented. We compute in the quenched approximation at $β=6.3$, 6.0 and 5.7 with Wilson light quarks and static and Wilson heavy quarks. We attempt to quantify systematic errors due to finite volume, finite lattice spacing, large $am$, and fitting and extrapolation uncertainties. The hopping parameter approach of Henty and Kenway is used to treat the heavy quarks; the sources are Coulomb gauge gaussians.
