Strong and electromagnetic decays for excited heavy mesons
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss a model for heavy mesons where the light quark (u or d) moves in the colour electric field from a heavy quark (c or b) placed in the center of the bag. We calculate energy spectra for pionic and photonic transitions from excited states. The transition amplitudes and the branching ratios between electromagnetic and pionic transitions compares favorable with the limited amount of known experimental data.

CLNS 95/1377 MZ-TH/95-31 Sum Rules for Radiative and Strong Decays of Heavy Mesons
We derive two model-independent sum rules relating the transition matrix elements for radiative and strong decays of excited heavy mesons to properties of the lowest-lying heavy mesons. The sum rule for the radiative decays is an analog of the Cabibbo-Radicati sum rule and expresses the sum of the radiative widths in terms of the isovector charge radius of the ground state heavy meson. Using mo...
متن کاملSpectroscopy and Strong Decays of Charmed Baryons
In the past years many new excited charmed baryon states have been discovered by BaBar, Belle and CLEO. In particular, B factories have provided a very rich source of charmed baryons both from B decays and from the continuum ee → cc̄. A new era for the charmed baryon spectroscopy is opened by the rich mass spectrum and the relatively narrow widths of the excited states. Experimentally and theore...
متن کاملStrong Decays of Excited Heavy Mesons In Chiral Perturbation Theory*
We construct an effective Lagrangian describing the interaction of soft pions and kaons with mesons containing a heavy quark and light degrees of freedom in an orbital p wave. The formalism is easily extended to heavy mesons and baryons in arbitrary excited states. We calculate the leading contributions to the strong decays D∗ 2 → Dπ, D∗ 2 → D∗π and D1 → D∗π. We confirm the relations between th...
متن کاملCorrections to chiral dynamics of heavy hadrons: SU(3) symmetry breaking.
In previous publications we have analyzed the strong and electromagnetic decays of heavy mesons and heavy baryons in a formalism which incorporates heavy-quark and chiral symmetries. There are two possible symmetry-breaking e ects on the chiral dynamics of heavy hadrons: the nite-mass e ects from light quarks and the 1=mQ corrections from heavy quarks. In the present paper, chiral-symmetry-brea...
متن کاملHeavy-Quark Symmetry and the Electromagnetic Decays of Excited Charmed Strange Mesons
Heavy-hadron chiral perturbation theory (HHχPT) is applied to the decays of the even-parity charmed strange mesons, Ds0(2317) and Ds1(2460). Heavy-quark spin symmetry predicts the branching fractions for the three electromagnetic decays of these states to the ground states Ds and D s in terms of a single parameter. The resulting predictions for two of the branching fractions are significantly h...
