Abstract
We present quenched results for B meson decay constants using NRQCD b quarks and O(a) tadpole improved clover light quarks. For the first time, one-loop matching factors between lattice and continuum currents are incorporated through O(\alpha/M) taking operator mixing fully into account. This includes an important O(\alpha a) discretization correction to the heavy-light axial vector current. We find f_B = 0.147(11)(^{+8}_{-12})(9)(6) MeV and f_{B_s}/f_B = 1.20(4)(^{+4}_{-0}).
