Decay Constants of Heavy-Light Mesons
The decay constants of the heavy-light pseudoscalar mesons are studied in a
high statistics run using the Wilson action at and , and
the clover action at . The systematics of discretisation
errors are discussed. Our best estimates of the decay constants are: =
218(9) MeV, = 1.11(1) and we obtain preliminary values for .Comment: at the Dallas Lattice Conference, October 1993. 3 pages in a single

Quenched -parameter with the Wilson and Clover actions at
We present results for the Kaon parameter from a sample of
configurations using the Wilson action and configurations using the
Clover action, on a lattice at . A slight
improvement of the chiral behaviour of is observed due to the Clover
action. We have also compared the results for obtained from two different
procedures for the boosting of the coupling constant . We observe a strong
dependence of on the prescription adopted for in the Wilson case,
contrary to the results of the Clover case which are almost unaffected by the
choice of . Combining some recently obtained non perturbative estimates for
the renormalisation constants with our Clover matrix element, we observe a
significant improvement in the chiral behaviour of .Comment: 3 pages, Latex, Postscript file with figures available at

apeNEXT: A multi-TFlops Computer for Simulations in Lattice Gauge Theory
We present the APE (Array Processor Experiment) project for the development
of dedicated parallel computers for numerical simulations in lattice gauge
theories. While APEmille is a production machine in today's physics simulations
at various sites in Europe, a new machine, apeNEXT, is currently being
developed to provide multi-Tflops computing performance. Like previous APE
machines, the new supercomputer is largely custom designed and specifically
optimized for simulations of Lattice QCD.Comment: Poster at the XXIII Physics in Collisions Conference (PIC03),

Non-perturbatively Improved Heavy-Light Mesons: Masses and Decay Constants
We present a study of the heavy-light spectrum and of the D- and B-meson
decay constants. The results wer e obtained in the quenched approximation, by
using the non-perturbatively improved Clover lattice action at beta=6.2, with a
sample of 100 configurations, on a 24^3 x 64 lattice. After a careful analysis
of th e systematic errors present in the extraction of the physical results, by
assuming quite conservative discretization errors, we find f_Ds=231 +/-
12^{+6}_{-1} MeV, f_D = 211 +/- 14^{+0}_{-12} MeV, f_Ds/f_D=1.10(2), f_Bs = 204
+/- 16^{+28}_{-0} MeV, f_B = 179 +/- 18^{+26}_{-9} MeV,
f_Bs/f_B=1.14(3)^{+0}_{-1}. Our results, which have smaller discretization
errors than many previous estimates at fixed value of the lattice spacing ,
support a large value of f_B in the quenched approximation.Comment: 26 pages, 9 Postscript figure

A High Statistics Lattice Calculation of at Using the Clover Action
We present a calculation of in the static limit, obtained by numerical
simulation of quenched QCD, at on a lattice, using
the SW-Clover quark action. The decay constant has been extracted by studying
heavy(static)-light correlation functions of different smeared operators, on a
sample of 220 gauge field configurations. We have obtained MeV, where the first error comes from the uncertainty in the
determination of the matrix element and the second comes from the uncertainty
in the lattice spacing. We also obtain MeV and
. A comparison of our results with other
calculations of the same quantity is made.Comment: 12 pages, LaTex, 3 figs. (figures not included; available upon

Status of the apeNEXT project
We present the current status of the apeNEXT project. Aim of this project is the development of the next generation of APE machines which will provide multi-teraflop computing power. Like previous machines, apeNEXT is based on a custom designed processor, which is specifically optimized for simulating QCD. We discuss the machine design, report on benchmarks, and give an overview on the status of the software development
