Systematic Study on QCD Interactions of Heavy Mesons with $\rho$ Meson

Abstract

The strong interactions of the negative-parity heavy mesons with $\rho$ meson may be described consistently in the context of an effective lagrangian, which is invariant under isospin SU(2) transformation. Four coupling constants $g_{HH\rho}$, $f_{H^*H\rho}$, $g_{H^*H^*\rho}$ and $f_{H^*H^*\rho}$ enter the effective lagrangian, where $H$ $(H^*)$ denotes a pseudoscalar bottom or charm meson (the corresponding vector meson). Using QCD light cone sum rule (LCSR) method and, as inputs, the hadronic parameters updated recently, we give an estimate of $g_{H^*H^*\rho}$ and $f_{H^*H^*\rho}$, about which little was known before, and present an improved result for $g_{HH\rho}$ and $f_{H^*H\rho}$. Also, we examine the heavy quark asymptotic behavior of these nonperturbative quantities and assess the two low energy parameters $\beta$ and $\lambda$ of the corresponding effective chiral lagrangian.
