The next-to-leading order corrections in the HQET expansion are included non-perturbatively. Based on N-f = 2 gauge field ensembles, covering three lattice spacings a approximate to (0.08-0.05) fm and pion masses down to 190 MeV, a variational method for extracting hadronic matrix elements is used to keep systematic errors under control. In addition we perform a careful autocorrelation analysis in the extrapolation to the continuum and to the physical pion mass limits. Our final results read f(B) = 186(13) MeV, f(Bs) = 224(14) MeV and f(Bs)/f(B) = 1.203(65). A comparison with other results in the literature does not reveal a dependence on the number of dynamical quarks, and effects from truncating HQET appear to be negligible.", optnote="WOS:000340048900061", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1881), last updated on Tue, 02 Sep 2014 19:38:14 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2014.06.051", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1404.3590", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2014.06.051", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1404.3590", language="English" }
