Abstract

Calculations of pseudoscalar decay constants of B, Bs, K and p mesons with physical light quarks are presented. We use HISQ ensembles that include u;d; s and c sea quarks at three lattice spacings. HISQ is used for the valence light quarks and a radiatively improved NRQCD action for the heavy quarks. The key results are fB+ =0:184(4) GeV, fBs =0:224(4) GeV, fBs= fB+ =1:217(8), fK+= fπ+ = 1:1916(21), fK+ = 155:37(34) MeV, giving a significant improvement over previous results that required chiral extrapolation. We also calculate the Wilson flow scale w0, finding w0 = 0:1715(9) fm. 31st.
