Hybrid mesons consist of a quark-antiquark pair bound together by a gluonic field that is in an excited state. Measuring the spectrum of these states will provide valuable information on the gluonic degrees of freedom of QCD in the…
In this work we calculate the mass spectrum and decay constants of ground and excited states of heavy-light $P$-wave mesons such as $1^{++}$ and $1^{+-}$, with quark composition, $c\overline{u}, c\overline{s}, b\overline{u}, b\overline{s}$,…

The vast majority of mesons can be understood as quark-antiquark states. Yet, various other possibilities exists: glueballs (bound-state of gluons), hybrids (quark-antiquark plus gluon), and four-quark states (either as diquark-antidiquark…
