The MILC collaboration computation of heavy-light decay constants is described. Results for $f_B$, $f_{B_s}$, $f_D$, $f_{D_s}$ and their ratios are presented. These results are still preliminary, but the analysis is close to being completed. Sources of systematic error, both within the quenched approximation and from quenching itself, are estimated, although the latter estimate is rather crude. A sample of our results is: $f_B=153 pm 10 {}^{+36}_{-13} {}^{+13}_{-0} MeV$, $f_{B_s}/f_B = 1.10 pm 0.02 {}^{+0.05}_{-0.03} {}^{+0.03}_{-0.02}$, and $f_{B}/f_{D_s} = 0.76 pm 0.03 {}^{+0.07}_{-0.04} {}^{+0.02}_{-0.01}$, where the errors are statistical, systematic (within the quenched approximation), and systematic (of quenching), respectively. The largest source of error comes from the extrapolation to the continuum. The second largest source is the chiral extrapolation. At present, the central values are based on linear chiral extrapolations; a shift to quadratic extrapolations would for example raise $f_B$ by $approx 20$ MeV and thereby make the error within the quenched approximation more symmetric.

Finite energy QCD sum rules with Legendre polynomial integration kernels are used to determine the heavy meson decay constant $f_{B_c}$, and revisit $f_B$ and $f_{B_s}$. Results exhibit excellent stability in a wide range of values of the integration radius in the complex squared energy plane, and of the order of the Legendre polynomial. Results are $f_{B_c} = 528 pm 19$ MeV, $f_B = 186 pm 14$ MeV, and $f_{B_s} = 222 pm 12$ MeV.
We give a progress report on a project aimed at a high-precision calculation of the decay constants $f_B$ and $f_{B_s}$ from simulations with HISQ heavy and light valence and sea quarks. Calculations are carried out with several heavy valence-quark m asses on ensembles with 2+1+1 flavors of HISQ sea quarks at five lattice spacings and several light sea-quark mass ratios $m_{ud}/m_s$, including approximately physical sea-quark masses. This range of parameters provides excellent control of the continuum limit and of heavy-quark discretization errors. We present a preliminary error budget with projected uncertainties of 2.2~MeV and 1.5~MeV for $f_B$ and $f_{B_s}$, respectively.
We present a progress report on our calculation of the decay constants $f_B$ and $f_{B_s}$ from lattice-QCD simulations with highly-improved staggered quarks. Simulations are carried out with several heavy valence-quark masses on $(2+1+1)$-flavor ens embles that include charm sea quarks. We include data at six lattice spacings and several light sea-quark masses, including an approximately physical-mass ensemble at all but the smallest lattice spacing, 0.03 fm. This range of parameters provides excellent control of the continuum extrapolation to zero lattice spacing and of heavy-quark discretization errors. Finally, using the heavy-quark effective theory expansion we present a method of extracting from the same correlation functions the charm- and bottom-quark masses as well as some low-energy constants appearing in the heavy-quark expansion.
We present a new determination of the $B_s$ leptonic decay constant from lattice QCD simulations that use gluon configurations from MILC and a highly improved discretization of the relativistic quark action for both valence quarks. Our result, $f_{B_ s} = 0.225(4)$,GeV, is almost three times more accurate than previous determinations. We analyze the dependence of the decay constant on the heavy quarks mass and obtain the first empirical evidence for the leading $1/sqrt{m_h}$ dependence predicted by Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET). As a check, we use our analysis technique to calculate the $m_{B_s}-m_{eta_b}/2$ mass difference. Our result agrees with experiment to within errors of $11,mathrm{MeV}$ (better than 2%). We discuss how to extend our analysis to other quantities in $B_s$ and $B$ physics, making 2%-precision possible for the first time.
We present the summary of the working group on $B$ mixing and the related CP violation at the CKM 2014 workshop. The contributions reflect the experimental and theoretical progress in the field over the last two years since the last CKM workshop.
