Masses and decays of the bottom-charm hybrid meson $c\bar{b}g$

Abstract

We study gluonic excitations inside a $B_c$ meson in the constituent gluon model, treating a bottom-charm hybrid meson $c\bar{b}g$ as a three-body system. We obtain the mass spectra for the hybrid mesons with magnetic gluon and electric gluon and see that their lowest states appear above the $DB$ threshold. Also, we consider the decays of the low-lying states of the hybrid meson into $DB,D^{\ast }B,D{B}^{\ast }$, $D^{\ast }{B}^{\ast }$, $D_s{B}_s$, and $D_s{B}_s^{\ast }$ mesons, developing an existing model for the strong decays. We estimate their partial decay widths and find that the widths have a heavy dependence on the final meson states. We argue that the accuracy of our model will be tested experimentally when the branching ratios of the decays are measured. Our results suggest that there could be a prospect that the hybrid meson will be discovered as its first excited state rather than its lowest state.
