Masses and decay constants of mesons containing a single $c$ or $b$ quark are described within the framework of heavy-quark symmetry. The $B_s^* - B_s$ and $\bar B^{*0} - \bar B^0$ mass splittings are found equal to within a fraction of an…

We show that there is a large discrepancy between the expected light flavor dependence of the heavy pseudoscalar--vector mass splittings and the measured values. We demonstrate that the one--loop calculation is unreliable. Moreover,…

Hadron masses can be decomposed as a sum of components which are defined through hadronic matrix elements of QCD operators. The components consist of the quark mass term, the quark energy term, the glue energy term and the trace anomaly…
