Can I read On a precise calculation of (f {B s}/f B) on EtoBox?

On a precise calculation of (f {B s}/f B) by Grinstein, Benjamin is a scholarly article available to read on EtoBox.

What is On a precise calculation of (f {B s}/f B) about?

We observe that quantities like (f_{B_s}/f_B) / (f_{D_s} /f_D) are predicted to be unity both by heavy quark and by light quark flavor symmetries. Hence, the deviation from the symmetry prediction must be simultaneously small in both symmetry breaking parameters, i.e., order of the ratio of light to heavy quarks masses. We estimate the size of the correction. We observe that the ratio of (\Delta M/\Gamma) for B_s - \bar B_s to B - \bar B mixing can be expressed in terms of the measurable ratio f_{D_s} / f_D with good precision. We comment on applications of these ideas to other processes.
