| dc.description | Lattice attempts to compute the leptonic decay constants of heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons are described. I give a short historical overview of such attempts and then discuss some current calculations. I focus on three of the most important sources of systematic error: the extrapolation to the continuum, the chiral extrapolation in light quark mass, and the effects of quenching. I briefly discuss the ``bag parameters'' $B_B$ and $B_{B_s}$, and then conclude with my expectations of the precision in decay constants and bag parameters that will be possible in the next few years. | |
