B Meson Decay Constants Using NRQCD

Abstract

Recent results for B meson decay constants with NRQCD b-quarks and clover light quarks are discussed. Perturbative matching factors through O($\alpha /M$) are now available and incorporated into the analyses. An O($\alpha a$) improvement term to the heavy-light axial current is identified and included. The slope of $f_{PS}\sqrt{M_{PS}}$ versus $1/M_{PS}$ is significantly reduced by these corrections.
