====== TTP06-25 Decoupling of heavy quarks in HQET ====== Decoupling of c-quark loops in b-quark HQET is considered. The decoupling coefficients for the HQET heavy-quark field and the heavy-light quark current are calculated with the three-loop accuracy. The last result can be used to improve the accuracy of extracting f_B from HQET lattice simulations (without c-quark loops). The decoupling coefficient for the flavour-nonsinglet QCD current with n antisymmetrized \gamma-matrices is also obtained at three loops; the result for the tensor current (n=2) is new. |**A.G.
