The charmed and bottom meson spectrum from lattice NRQCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

The mass spectrum of S and P-wave mesons containing a single heavy quark has been computed using quenched lattice nonrelativistic QCD. Numerical results have been obtained at first, second and third order in the heavy quark expansion, so convergence can be discussed. The computed spectrum of charmed and bottom mesons is compared to existing model calculations and experimental data.
