Description
We present the status of our updated D and B meson decay-constant analysis, based on the MILC Nf=2+1 asqtad gauge ensembles. Heavy quarks are incorporated using the Wilson clover action with the Fermilab interpretation. This analysis includes ensembles at five lattice spacings from a=0.045 to 0.15 fm, and light-quark sea masses down to 1/20 of the strange-quark mass. A complete chiral-continuum extrapolation based on partially quenched staggered chiral perturbation theory is presented, along with a detailed analysis of systematic errors.
