Applying knowledge of the interaction between heavy quarks derived from the study of $c\overline{c}$ and $b\overline{b}$ bound states, we calculate the spectrum of $c\overline{b}$ mesons. We compute transition rates for the electromagnetic and hadronic cascades that lead from excited states to the $^1\text{S}_0$ ground state, and briefly consider the prospects for experimental observation of the spectrum.

How later papers used it

57 later papers cite it

Evidence: substantial. 56 of the citing papers share no author with it, and 24 of those carry a confident label from Pith's citation classifier.

Pith read 21 of the 112 citing sentences, choosing only those whose citation markers point at this paper alone, and wrote the paraphrases from them. The summary, the counts, the evidence level, the links and the quotes come from code; the summary counts the papers listed below. A later paper is listed under a label when Pith's citation classifier gives one of its sentences that label at probability 0.8 or more (0.95 for support), Pith's reading finds that the citing paper itself did it, and a second check confirms the paraphrase against the sentence. This section lists uses only. It does not list criticism or disagreement, so their absence here says nothing about how the paper has been received. Papers that share an author with this one are listed apart, under "By the same authors". A quote is the citing authors' own sentence, shown when their paper's licence is CC BY, CC BY-SA or CC0. JSON

  • As a matter of fact, using standard phenomenological values [ref] $σ=(427.4 MeV)^2$ and $χ=0.52$, a slightly modified quark mass $m_b=5215$ MeV to get the same $β=855$ MeV for charmonium and bottomonium, and $√(2)Δ_b = 51 MeV ≈Δ_$ from [ref] , a nice (diabatic) description of the spectrum and properties of bottomoniumlike mesons comes out [ref] (we have checked that the slight difference in the value of $Δ_b$ used in [ref] with respect to $√(2)Δ_b=51$ MeV gives rise to spectral mass differences of $2$ MeV at most).
