The New Heavy Mesons: A Status Report
Abstract
A survey of the experimental, phenomenological, and theoretical status of the new heavy mesons is presented. States discussed are the Bc, hc, ηc', Ds(2317), Ds(2460), X(3872), X(3940), Y(3940), Z(3930), and Y(4260). Quark models for spectra, strong decays, and hadronic interactions are reviewed and used to interpret the new states. New results for strong decay models, bound state decays, mesonic molecules, properties of the X(3872), and the chiral doublet model are also presented.
