Masses and decay constants of B_q mesons in the QCD string approach by Badalian, A. M.; Simonov, Yu. A.; Bakker, B. L. G. is a scholarly article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Masses and decay constants of B_q mesons in the QCD string approach about?

The relativistic string Hamiltonian is used to calculate the masses and decay constants of $B_q$ mesons: they appear to be expressed through onlythree fundamental values: the string tension $\sigma $, $\alpha_s$, and the quark pole masses. The values $f_B =186 $ MeV, $f_{B_s}= 222$ MeV are calculated while $f_{B_c}$ depends on the $c$-quark pole mass used, namely $f_{B_c}=440 (424)$ MeV for $m_c =1.40 (1.35)$ GeV. For the $1P$ states we predict the spin-averaged masses: $\bar M(B_J)=5730$ MeV and $\bar M(B_{sJ})=5830$ MeV which are in good agreement with the recent data of the D0 and CDF Collaborations, at the same time owning to the string correction being by $\sim 50$ MeV smaller than in other calculations.
