Abstract

Last year we proposed using staggered fermions as the light quarks, combined with nonrelativistic heavy quarks, in simulations of heavy-light mesons. A first round of tests which focuses on the B<sub>s</sub> meson has been completed using quenched lattices, and results are presented here for the kinetic B<sub>s</sub> mass, the B<sub>s</sub>* - B<sub>s</sub> splitting, and fBa. The next project, already underway, is to compute the B and B<sub>s</sub> decay constants and spectra on then<sub>f</sub> = 2 + 1 and 3 MILC lattices. We report on progress with one set of these configurations.
