Remarks on Heavy-Light Mesons from AdS/CFT

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-01-06 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to compute the energy spectrum of heavy-light mesons in a N=2 SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory with two massive hypermultiplets. In the heavy quark limit, similar to QCD, we find that the excitation energies are independent of the heavy quark mass. We also make some remarks about related AdS/CFT models of flavor with less supersymmetry.
