Pseudoscalar meson physics with four dynamical quarks

2012 
We present preliminary results for light, strange and charmed pseudoscalar meson physics from simulations using four flavors of dynamical quarks with the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action. These simulations include lattice spacings ranging from 0.15 to 0.06 fm, and seaquark masses both above and at their physical value. The major results are charm meson decay constants fD, fDs and fDs = fD and ratios of quark masses. This talk will focus on our procedures for finding the decay constants on each ensemble, the continuum extrapolation, and estimates of systematic error.
