Abstract

We investigate the continuum limit of the low lying static-light meson spectrum using Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD with N_f = 2 dynamical quark flavours. We consider three values of the lattice spacing a ~ 0.051 fm, 0.064 fm, 0.080 fm and various values of the pion mass in the range 280 MeV < m_PS < 640 MeV. We present results in the continuum limit for light cloud angular momentum j = 1/2, 3/2, 5/2 and for parity P = +, -. We extrapolate our results to physical quark masses, make predictions regarding the spectrum of B and B_s mesons and compare with available experimental results.
