abstract

The M1 decay widths of charm and bottom mesons and their excited states are sensitive to the relativistic aspect of the quark current operators and obtain a significant contribution from the interaction current that is associated with the scalar confining interaction between heavy quarks ($Q$) and light antiquarks ($\bar q$). Consequently they provide direct evidence on the latter. The spectra and the M1 transition widths of the $D$, $D_s$ and $B$, $B_s$ mesons and their orbital excitations are calculated here within the framework of the Blankenbecler-Sugar equation, which allows a covariant treatment, while retaining a formal similarity to the nonrelativistic approach. The hyperfine interaction in the $Q\bar q$ mesons is modeled by screened gluon exchange, which shares many features with the instanton induced interaction. The quality of the model is tested by calculation of the spectra and M1 decay widths of charmonium.

  1. Properties of the $D_{s0}^*(2317)^\pm$ in hot and dense nuclear matter

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A coupled-channel molecular model predicts that in nuclear matter the D_s0*(2317)+ shifts downward and broadens with density, while temperature narrows it and broadens its antiparticle, yielding a possible structural test.

  2. Higher excited charmed and charmed-strange mesons in an unquenched quark model

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Unquenched quark model calculations show coupled-channel effects lower masses of higher D and Ds excitations; D_s1(2933) is assigned as mixed D_s(2P1), D_sJ(3040) favors D_s(3^1S0), while D(3000) fits none of the 3S/2...

  3. Unquenched Charmonium and Beyond

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    This Lanzhou-group review argues that coupled-channel (unquenched) effects, not exotic constituents, are the common thread explaining charmonium anomalies from the rho-pi puzzle to the Y-problem states.
