| dc.description | The energies of different angular momentum states of a heavy-light meson were measured on a lattice in Michael and Peisa, Phys. Rev. D 58, 34506 (1998). We have now repeated this study using several different lattices, quenched and unquenched, that have different physical lattice sizes, clover coefficients and quark-gluon couplings. The heavy quark is taken to be infinitely heavy, whereas the light quark mass is approximately that of the strange quark. By interpolating and extrapolating in the light quark mass we can thus compare the lattice results with B and B_s meson experiments. Most interesting is the lowest P-wave B_s state, since it is possible that it lies below the $BK$ threshold and hence is very narrow. Unfortunately, there are no experimental results on P-wave B or B_s mesons available at present. In addition to the energy spectrum, we measured earlier also vector (charge) and scalar (matter) radial distributions of the light quark in the S-wave states of a heavy-light meson on a lattice (Phys. Rev. D 65, 014512 (2002) and Eur. Phys. J. C 28, 79 (2003)). Now we are extending the study of radial distributions to P-wave states. | |
