We measure the masses, decay widths and relative production rate of orbitally excited B mesons using 1.25 million hadronic Z decays recorded by the L3 detector. B-meson candidates are inclusively reconstructed and combined with charged…
In many lattice simulations with dynamical quarks, radial or orbital excitations of hadrons lie near multihadron thresholds: it makes the extraction of excited states properties more challenging and can introduce some systematics difficult…
We study multi-particle state contributions to the QCD two-point functions of the axial-vector and pseudo-scalar quark bilinears in a finite spatial volume. For sufficiently small quark masses one expects three-meson states with two…

The $B^* B\pi$ coupling is a fundamental parameter of chiral effective Lagrangian with heavy-light mesons and can constrain the chiral behavior of $f_B$, $B_B$ and the $B\to \pi l \nu$ form factor in the soft pion limit. We compute the $B^*…
Among the sources of systematic error in nucleon structure calculations is contamination from unwanted excited states. In order to measure this systematic error, we vary the operator insertion time and source-sink separation independently.…
Excited state spectra of $B$, $B_s$ and $B_c$ mesons are computed using lattice QCD. Working with a large basis of carefully constructed, approximately-local $q\bar{q}$-like operators we determine a rich spectrum of states up to $J=4$ in…

We consider three-flavor QCD and perform a determination of the low-energy coupling $\hat{g}_\chi$ of SU(2) Heavy Meson Chiral Perturbation Theory. It is the $B^*B\pi$ coupling in the limit of static heavy and chiral light quarks and has…
This is a follow-up to our earlier work on the energies and radial distributions of heavy-light mesons. The heavy quark is taken to be static (infinitely heavy) and the light quark has a mass about that of the strange quark. We now…
