Measurement of the Pseudoscalar Decay Constant fDs Using Charm-Tagged Events in e+e Collisions at s=10.58GeV

Abstract
Using 230.2fb1 of e+e annihilation data collected with the BABAR detector at and near the peak of the Υ(4S) resonance, 489±55 events containing the pure leptonic decay Ds+μ+νμ have been isolated in charm-tagged events. The ratio of partial widths Γ(Ds+μ+νμ)/Γ(Ds+ϕπ+) is measured to be 0.143±0.018±0.006 allowing a determination of the pseudoscalar decay constant fDs=(283±17±7±14)MeV. The errors are statistical, systematic, and from the Ds+ϕπ+ branching ratio, respectively.
