Abstract

We discuss the matching procedure for heavy-light 4-quark operators using the Fermilab method for heavy quarks and staggered fermions for light quarks. These ingredients enable us to construct the continuum-limit operator needed to determine the oscillation frequency of neutral B mesons. The matching is then carried out at the one-loop level. We also present an updated preliminary result for the ratio x , based on calculations using the MILC Collaboration's ensembles of lattice gauge fields.
