Mixing angle and decay constants of $J^P=1^{+}$ heavy-light mesons

Abstract

The mass spectra, mixing angle and decay constants of the $J^P=1^{+}$ heavy-light mesons are systematically studied within the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE). The full $1^{+}$ Salpeter wave function is given for the first time. The mixing between the $1^{+-}$ and $1^{++}$ in the $1^{+}$ heavy-light systems are automatically determined by the dynamics in the equation without any man-made mixing. The results indicate that in a rigorous study there exists the phenomenon of mixing angle inversion or mass inversion within $1^{+}$ heavy-light doublet, which is sensitive to the $s$-quark mass for the charmed mesons and $u$- or $d$-quark masses for the bottomed mesons. This inversion phenomenon can answer the question of why we have confused mixing angles in the literature and partly explain the lower mass of $D_{s1}(2460)$ compared to that of $D_{s1}(2536)$. The decay constants are also presented and can behave as a good quantity to distinguish the $1^{+}$ doublet in heavy-light mesons. This study indicates that the light-quark mass may play an important role in deciding the mass order, mixing angle, and decay constant relation between the $|j_l=\frac{3}{2}⟩$ and $|j_l=\frac{1}{2}⟩$ heavy-light mesons.
