Probes of Heavy Meson Substructure in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation

Abstract

We apply Heavy Quark Effective Theory to the production of $0^{-}$ and $1^{-}$ $Q\bar{q}$ states in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation. We show that HQET implies that the electric quadrupole amplitudes vanish and we propose tests for this theory. We also show how HQET can be applied to distinguish the ${}^3{D}_1$ and ${}^3{S}_1$ $Q\bar{Q}$ states.
