Heavy Mesons in Two Dimensions

Abstract

The large mass limit of QCD uncovers symmetries that are not present in the QCD lagrangian. These symmetries have been applied to physical (finite mass) systems, such as B and D mesons. We explore the validity of this approximation in the 't Hooft model (two-dimensional QCD in the large-N approximation). We find that the large mass approximation is good, even at the charm mass, for form factors, but it breaks down for the pseudoscalar decay constant.
