$B$ Meson Decay Constants $f_{B_c}$, $f_{B_s}$ and $f_B$ from QCD Sum Rules

Abstract

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.
