Chiral corrections and lattice QCD results for fBs/fBd and (Delta ms/Delta md)

Abstract

It has been argued recently that the inclusion of the chiral logarithms in extrapolation of the lattice data can shift the value of the hadronic parameter xi = (fBs sqrt(B_{Bs}))/(fBd sqrt(B_{Bd})), from 1.16(6) to 1.32(10) and even higher. If true, that would considerably change the theoretical estimate for the ratio of oscillation frequencies in the neutral Bs- and Bd-systems, and would affect the standard CKM unitarity triangle analysis. In this letter we show that (fBs/fBd) \approx (fK/fpi), and thus the uncertainty due to the missing chiral logs is smaller than previously thought. By combining the NLO chiral expansion with the static heavy quark limit we obtain xi = 1.22(8).
