Abstract

The strong decay amplitudes and radiative partial widths of orbital and radially excited states of BB and BsB_s mesons are presented. These results are obtained with a nonrelativistic potential quark model, the nonrelativistic reduction of the electromagnetic transition operator, and the "3P0^3P_0" model of strong decays. The predictions are compared to experiment where possible and assignments for the recently discovered states, B1(5721)B_1(5721), B2(5747)B_2^*(5747), BJ(5840)B_J(5840), BJ(5970)B_J(5970), Bs1(5830)B_{s1}(5830), and Bs2(5840)B_{s2}^*(5840), are made.
