We discuss methods to obtain accurate hadronic spectra with propagating quarks. Comparing the determination of masses for spin-exotic hybrid mesons with glueball mass determinations, we conclude that quark propagators from all sites to all…
We study a new method -- maximal variance reduction -- for reducing the variance of stochastic estimators for quark propagators. We find that while this method is comparable to usual iterative inversion for light-light mesons, a…
We present results for the spectrum of static-light mesons from Nf=2 lattice QCD. These results were obtained using all-to-all light quark propagators on an anisotropic lattice, yielding an improved signal resolution when compared to more…
Recent results on the spectroscopy of excited b and c states are presented. In particular, these include the first observation of the D_1 (light quark spin j=1/2) resonance, searches for radially excited D*' and observations of orbitally…
Last year we proposed using staggered fermions as the light quarks, combined with nonrelativistic heavy quarks, in simulations of heavy-light mesons. A first round of tests which focuses on the B_s meson has been completed using quenched…
Recent results on heavy flavor spectroscopy from the CDF and D0 experiments are reported in this contribution. Using up to 1 fb-1 of accumulated luminosity per experiment, properties of X(3872), excited B** states, and the B_c meson are…
We report on preliminary results from multi-particle fits to meson propagators with three flavors of light dynamical quarks. We are able to measure excited states in propagators with pion quantum numbers, which we interpret as the pion 2S…
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…
We present a study of the B spectrum performed in the framework of Heavy Quark Effective Theory expanded to next-to-leading order in 1/m and non-perturbative in the strong coupling. Our analyses have been performed on Nf=2 lattice gauge…
First results are obtained for B mesons using a heavy propagator calculated using NRQCD, and a light Wilson propagator. Results from 13 quenched configurations of size 16^3 x 48 at \beta = 6.0 give a value for f_{B} of less than 200 Mev and…
We report on a calculation of $B_c$ ground state and radial excitation energies, obtained from heavy-charm highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) correlators computed on MILC gauge ensembles, with lattice spacings down to $a=0.044$ fm.…
Recent experimental results on the spectroscopy of B hadrons are presented. The focus is primarily on the heavier states currently accessible only at the Tevatron and the B factories running at the Upsilon(5S) resonance, i.e., Bs*, the L =…
We study the $B$ meson spectroscopy allowing the mixture of conventional $P$ wave quark-antiquark states and four-quark components. A similar picture was used to describe the new $D_J$ and $D_{sJ}$ open charm mesons. The four-quark…
In Nature the excited states of the hadron spectrum appear as resonances. Consequently, there has been significant interest in studying the excited baryon spectrum using lattice QCD. With this in mind we perform spectroscopic calculations…
We calculate the spectrum of $B_c$ mesons using a non-relativistic quark potential model. Using the calculated wave functions, we compute the radiative widths of $B_c$ excited states. The strong decay widths are calculated in a modified…
The energies of different angular momentum states of a heavy-light meson were measured on a lattice in Michael and Peisa, Phys. Rev. D 58, 34506 (1998). We have now repeated this study using several different lattices, quenched and…
The energies of different angular momentum states of a heavy-light meson were measured on a lattice in PRD 58, 34506 (1998) . We have now continued this study using several different lattices, quenched and unquenched, that have different…
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…
Using NRQCD b quarks and HISQ light, strange and charm quarks we have calculated B meson masses and B^*-B splittings. We quote results for a range of lattice spacings and sea quark masses, enabling controlled extrapolation to the physical…
We present results of a lattice analysis of the $B$ parameter, $B_B$, the decay constant $f_B$, and several mass splittings using the static approximation. Results were obtained for 60 quenched gauge configurations computed at $\beta=6.2$…
