Charm physics with overlap fermions on 2+1-flavor domain wall fermion configurations*

Abstract Decay constants of pseudoscalar mesons D , , and vector mesons , , are determined from the lattice QCD at a lattice spacing fm. For vector mesons, the decay constants defined by tensor currents are given in the scheme at GeV. The calculation is performed on domain wall fermion configurations generated by the RBC-UKQCD collaborations and the overlap fermion action is used for the valence quarks. Comparing the current results with our previous results at a coarser lattice spacing fm provides a better understanding of the discretization error. We obtain with a better precision than our previous result. Combining our MeV with the total width of determined in a recent study gives a branching fraction for leptonic decay.
