Open-flavor strong decays of open-charm and open-bottom mesons in the ${}^3{P}_0$ model

Abstract

We provide results for the open-flavor strong decays of open-charm ($D$ and $D_{\mathrm{s}}$) and open-bottom ($B$, $B_{\mathrm{s}}$ and $B_{\mathrm{c}}$) mesons. The decays are calculated in a modified version of the ${}^3{P}_0$ pair-creation model, assuming harmonic oscillator wave functions. The spectra of open-charm and open-bottom mesons used in the calculations are computed within Godfrey and Isgur's relativized quark model. Quantum number assignments are also provided. Our results are compared with the existing experimental data.
