Strangeness, Charm, and Beauty: Mesons with One Heavy Quark

Abstract

I review the properties of mesons with one heavy quark. I start by examining the predicted masses and widths in the context of the quark model and heavy quark effective theory. Some recent experimental results are described and I conclude with comments on potentially interesting future experimental studies.
