Mass spectra and decay properties of the higher excited $\rho$ mesons

Abstract

Although there are some experimental hints for the higher excited $\rho$ mesons, our knowledge of their properties is much poor theoretically. Based on our recent work about excited $\rho$ mesons [Phys.Rev.D104(2021)034013], we present the mass spectra and decay properties of the higher excited $\rho$ mesons with the modified Godfrey-Isgur quark model and the ${}^3{P}_0$ strong decay model, and compare our predictions with the experimental hints, which should be helpful to search for these higher excited $\rho$ mesons.
