B mesons

TE Browder, K Honscheid - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 1995 - Elsevier
B mesons are bound states of ab quark and a light anti-quark. While the binding is provided
by the strong interaction B mesons can only decay by the weak interaction. Since the top …

Exclusive hadronic B decays to charm and charmonium final states

MS Alam, IJ Kim, B Nemati, JJ O'Neill, H Severini… - Physical Review D, 1994 - APS
We have fully reconstructed decays of both B 0 and B− mesons into final states containing
either D, D*, D**, ψ, ψ', or χ c 1 mesons. This allows us to obtain new results on many …

bound states in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism

P Jain, HJ Munczek - Physical Review D, 1993 - APS
Abstract We solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation in order to calculate the spectrum of
pseudoscalar, vector, and scalar meson bound states for light as well as heavy quarks …

Inclusive and exclusive decays of mesons to final states including charm and charmonium mesons

D Bortoletto, DN Brown, J Dominick, RL McIlwain… - Physical Review D, 1992 - APS
We have studied hadronic decays of B mesons. We report measurements of exclusive
branching ratios of several charm decay modes of B mesons to final states with a D or D …

Exclusive decays and masses of the B mesons

C Bebek, K Berkelman, E Blucher, DG Cassel, T Copie… - Physical Review D, 1987 - APS
We report on the observation of exclusive decays of B mesons to modes containing a D or
D*+ and one or two charged pions. From kinematic reconstruction we determine the masses …

Decays of the b quark

EH Thorndike, RA Poling - Physics Reports, 1988 - Elsevier
Recent experimental results on the decay of b-flavored hadrons are reviewed. Substantial
progress has been made in the study of exclusive and inclusive B-meson decays, as well as …

Isospin violation in mesons and the constituent-quark masses

S Godfrey, N Isgur - Physical Review D, 1986 - APS
Isospin-violating mass differences and mixing angles in mesons, which arise in part from an
intrinsic mass difference between up and down quarks, are studied in a relativized quark …

Isospin violations in baryons and the - mass difference

S Capstick - Physical Review D, 1987 - APS
Isospin-violating mass differences, due to the intrinsic mass difference between up and
down quarks and electromagnetic interactions between the quarks, are studied in a …

A review of hadronic and rare B decays

TE Browder, K Honscheid, S Playfer - B Decays, 1994 - World Scientific
We review recent experimental results on B meson decays. These include measurements of
the inclusive production of charmed and non-charmed mesons and baryons, the …
