Abstract

We study the most recently observed excited BcB_{c} states with the Dyson-Schwinger equation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation approach of continuum QCD. The obtained MBc+(2S)=6.813(16)GeVM_{B^+_{c}(2S)}=6.813(16)\text{GeV}, MBc+(2S)=6.841(18)GeVM_{B^{*+}_{c}(2S)}=6.841(18)\text{GeV} and the mass splitting MBc+(2S)MBc+(2S)rec0.039GeVM_{B_c^+(2S)}-M^{\text{rec}}_{B_c^{*+}(2S)} \approx 0.039 \text{GeV} agree with the observations very well. Moreover we predict the leptonic decay constant fBc+(2S)=0.165(10)GeVf_{B^+_{c}(2S)}=-0.165(10)\text{GeV}, fBc+(2S)=0.161(7)GeVf_{B^{*+}_{c}(2S)}=-0.161(7)\text{GeV} respectively.
