Using a $3.19~mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ data sample collected at an $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energy of $E_{rm cm}=4.178$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we measure the branching fraction of the leptonic decay $D_s^+tomu^+ u_mu$ to be $mathcal{B}_{D_s^+tomu^+ u_mu}=(5.49pm0.16_{rm stat.}pm0.15_{rm syst.})times10^{-3}$. Combining our branching fraction with the masses of the $D_s^+$ and $mu^+$ and the lifetime of the $D_s^+$, we determine $f_{D_s^+}|V_{cs}|=246.2pm3.6_{rm stat.}pm3.5_{rm syst.}~mathrm{MeV}$. Using the $cto s$ quark mixing matrix element $|V_{cs}|$ determined from a global standard model fit, we evaluate the $D_s^+$ decay constant $f_{D_s^+}=252.9pm3.7_{rm stat.}pm3.6_{rm syst.}$,MeV. Alternatively, using the value of $f_{D_s^+}$ calculated by lattice quantum chromodynamics, we find $|V_{cs}| = 0.985pm0.014_{rm stat.}pm0.014_{rm syst.}$. These values of $mathcal{B}_{D_s^+tomu^+ u_mu}$, $f_{D_s^+}|V_{cs}|$, $f_{D_s^+}$ and $|V_{cs}|$ are each the most precise results to date.
We have observed $23.2 pm 6.0_{-0.9}^{+1.0}$ purely-leptonic decays of $D_s^+ -> mu^+ u_mu$ from a sample of muonic one prong decay events detected in the emulsion target of Fermilab experiment E653. Using the $D_s^+ -> phi mu^+ u_mu$ yield measured previously in this experiment, we obtain $B(D_s^+ --> mu^+ u_mu) / B(D_s^+ --> phi mu^+ u_mu) =0.16 pm 0.06 pm 0.03$. In addition, we extract the decay constant $f_{D_s}=194 pm 35 pm 20 pm 14 MeV$.
Using 482~pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s} = 4.009$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we measure the branching fractions of the decays $D_s^+tomu^+ u_mu$ and $D_s^+totau^+ u_tau$. By constraining the ratio of decay rates of $D_s^+$ to $tau^+ u_tau$ and to $mu^+ u_mu$ to the Standard Model prediction, the branching fractions are determined to be $mathcal{B}(D_s^+ to mu^+ u_mu) = (0.495 pm 0.067 pm 0.026)%$ and $mathcal{B}(D_s^+ to tau^+ u_tau) = (4.83 pm 0.65 pm 0.26)%$. Using these branching fractions, we obtain a value for the decay constant $f_{D_s^+}$ of $(241.0 pm 16.3 pm 6.5)~text{MeV}$, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic.
We determine the masses and decay constants of pseudoscalar mesons $ D $, $ D_s $, and $ K $ in quenched lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry. For 100 gauge configurations generated with single-plaquette action at $ beta = 6.1 $ on the $ 20^3 times 40 $ lattice, we compute point-to-point quark propagators for 30 quark masses in the range $ 0.03 le m_q a le 0.80 $, and measure the time-correlation functions of pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The inverse lattice spacing $ a^{-1} $ is determined with the experimental input of $ f_pi $, while the strange quark bare mass $ m_s a = 0.08 $, and the charm quark bare mass $ m_c a = 0.80 $ are fixed such that the masses of the corresponding vector mesons are in good agreement with $ phi(1020) $ and $ J/psi(3097) $ respectively. Our results of pseudoscalar-meson decay constants are $ f_K = 152(6)(10) $ MeV, $ f_D = 235(8)(14)$ MeV, and $ f_{D_s} = 266(10)(18) $ MeV.
We measure the decay constant fDs using the Ds -> l+ nu channel, where the l+ designates either a mu+ or a tau+, when the tau+ -> pi+ nu. Using both measurements we find fDs = 274 +-13 +- 7 MeV. Combining with our previous determination of fD+, we compute the ratio fDs/fD+ = 1.23 +- 0.11 +- 0.04. We compare with theoretical estimates.
Using data collected near the Ds*+ Ds- peak production energy Ecm = 4170 MeV by the CLEO-c detector, we study the decays of Ds+ mesons to two pseudoscalar mesons. We report on searches for the singly-Cabibbo-suppressed Ds+ decay modes K+ eta, K+ eta, pi+ K0S, K+ pi0, and the isospin-forbidden decay mode Ds+ to pi+ pi0. We normalize with respect to the Cabibbo-favored Ds+ modes pi+ eta, pi+ eta, and K+ K0S, and obtain ratios of branching fractions: Ds+ to K+ eta / Ds+ to pi+ eta = (8.9 +- 1.5 +- 0.4)%, Ds+ to K+ eta / Ds+ to pi+ eta = (4.2 +- 1.3 +- 0.3)%, Ds+ to pi+ K0S / Ds+ to K+ K0S = (8.2 +- 0.9 +- 0.2)%, Ds+ to K+ pi0 / Ds+ to K+ K0S = (5.0 +- 1.2 +- 0.6)%, and Ds+ to pi+ pi0 / Ds+ to K+ K0S < 4.1% at 90% CL, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
