Properties of excited charmed-bottom mesons

Abstract

We calculate the spectrum of $B_c$ mesons using a non-relativistic quark potential model. Using the calculated wave functions, we compute the radiative widths of $B_c$ excited states. The strong decay widths are calculated in a modified ${}^3{P}_0$ model, assuming harmonic oscillator wave functions. The hadronic transition rates of $B_c$ mesons are calculated using the Kuang-Yan approach. These results are used to determine branching ratios of possible decay channels of several $B_c$ excited states. Calculated branching ratios are then combined with production cross section of $B_c$ states at the LHC to suggest strategies to find missing excited states of $B_c$ mesons.
