Radial Excitations of Heavy Mesons

Abstract

Recent discovery of D_s states suggests existence of radial excitations. Our semirelativistic quark potential model succeeds in reproducing these staes within one to two percent of accuracy compared with the experiments, D_s0(2860) and D_s^*(2715), which are identified as 0^+ and 1^- radial excitations (n=2). We also present calculations of radial excitations for B/B_s heavy mesons. Relation between our formulation and the modified Goldberger-Treiman relation is also described.
