Spectra and Decay Constants of $B_c$-like and $B^*_0$ Mesons in QCD

Abstract

Using the existing state of art of the QCD expressions of the two-point correlators into the Inverse Laplace sum rules (LSR) within stability criteria, we present a first analysis of the spectra and decay constants of B_c-like scalar (0^{++}) and axial-vector (1^{++}) mesons and revisit the ones of the B^*_c(1^{--}) vector meson. Improved predictions are obtained by combining these LSR results with the some mass-splittings from Heavy Quark Symmetry (HQS). We complete the analysis by revisiting the B^*_{0}(0^{++}) mass which might be likely identified with the B^*_J(5732) experimental candidate. The results for the spectra collected in Table 2 are compared with some recent lattice and potential models ones. New estimates of the decay constants are given in Table 3.
