Searching for chiral logs in the static-light decay constant

Abstract

Using the clover fermion action in unquenched QCD with pion masses as low as 420 MeV, we look for evidence for chiral logs in the static-light decay constant. There is some evidence for a chiral log term, if the original static theory of Eichten and Hill is used. However, the more precise data from the static action of the ALPHA collaboration do not show any evidence for non-linear dependence of the static-light decay constant on the light quark mass. We make some comments on the connection between chiral perturbation theory for decay constants of the pion and static-light meson.
