The hadronic properties of heavy–light flavour mesons, vis a vis B, Bs, D and Ds, are investigated by treating the light flavour relativistically and the heavy flavour non-relativistically with an effective quark–antiquark interaction potential of the form −αc/r + Arν. The Fermi momentum parameter generally used for experimental analysis, ground state masses, the ratio of the pseudoscalar decay constants and the vector–pseudoscalar mass differences and their ratios are computed for values of the potential index ν varying from 0.5 to 2.0. The excellent agreement of the properties calculated here with the experimental values suggest the most suitable potential form to be ν = 0.5.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
