Measurement of B(Ds+ -> l plus v) and the decay constant fDs+ from 600 pb(-1) of e(+)e(-) annihilation data near 4170 MeV

We examine e+e-→Ds-Ds*+ and Ds*-Ds+ interactions at 4170 MeV using the CLEO-c detector in order to measure the decay constant fDs+ with good precision. Previously our measurements were substantially higher than the most precise lattice based QCD calculation of (241± 3)MeV. Here we use the Ds+→+ν cha...
