چکیده
We examine the decays of excited heavy mesons, including the leading power corrections to the heavy quark limit. We nd a new and natural explanation for the large deviation of the width of the D1(2420) from the heavy quark symmetry prediction. Our formalism leads to detailed predictions for the properties of the excited bottom mesons, some of which recently have been observed. Finally, we present a detailed analysis of the e ect of power corrections and nite meson widths on the angular distributions which may be measured in heavy meson decays. Typeset using REVTEX

We discuss nonperturbative contributions to the inclusive rareB decays B → Xsγ and B → Xs`+`−. We employ an operator product expansion and the heavy quark effective theory to compute the leading corrections to the decay rate found in the free quark decay model, which is exact in the limit mb →∞. These corrections are of relative order 1/mb , and may be parameterised in terms of two low-energy p...
متن کاملJHU{TIPAC{96007 hep-ph/9603389 A New Interpretation of the Observed Heavy Baryons
I suggest that the conventional assignment of quantum numbers to the observed charm and bottom baryons is not correct, as these assignments imply large violation of the heavy spinavor and light SU(3) symmetries. I propose an alternative interpretation of the observed states, in which the symmetries are preserved. If these novel assignments are right, there is a new state with mass approximately...
متن کاملHadronic Decays of Excited Heavy Mesons
We studied the hadronic decays of excited states of heavy mesons (D, Ds, B and Bs) to lighter states by emission of π, η or K. Wavefunctions and energy levels of these excited states are determined using a Dirac equation for the light quark in the potential generated by the heavy quark (including first order corrections in the heavy quark expansion). Transition amplitudes are computed in the co...
متن کاملRecent Developments in the Theory of Heavy Quarks
Recent developments in the theory of heavy quarks are reviewed. In the area of heavy quark fragmentation, there has been progress in the study of both pertubative and nonperturbative processes, including the identification of new observable nonperturbative fragmentation parameters. There has also been considerable theoretical activity in the study of inclusive rare and semileptonic decays of bo...
