Abstract

We report the nonperturbative tuning of parameters-κ_c, κ_b, and κ_crit-that are related to the bare heavy-quark mass in the Fermilab action. This requires the computation of the masses of Ds(*) and Bs(*) mesons comprised of a Fermilab heavy quark and a staggered light quark. Additionally, we report the hyperfine splittings for Ds(*) and Bs(*) mesons as a cross-check of our simulation and analysis methods. We find a splitting of 145±15MeV for the D_s system and 40±9MeV for the B_s system. These are in good agreement with the Particle Data Group average values of 143.9±0.4MeV and 46.1±1.5MeV, respectively. The calculations are carried out with the MILC 2+1 flavor gauge configurations at three lattice spacings a0.15, 0.12, and 0.09 fm.
