Towards establishing an abundant $B$ and $B_s$ spectrum up to the second orbital excitations (2102.03694v2)
Abstract: Stimulated by the exciting progress in experiments, we carry out a combined analysis of the masses, and strong and radiative decay properties of the $B$ and $B_s$-meson states up to the second orbital excitations. Based on our good descriptions of the mass and decay properties for the low-lying well-established states $B_1(5721)$, $B_2*(5747)$, $B_{s1}(5830)$ and $B_{s2}*(5840)$, we give a quark model classification for the high mass resonances observed in recent years. It is found that (i) the $B_{J}(5840)$ resonance may be explained as the low mass mixed state $B(|SD\rangle_L)$ via $23S_1$-$13D_1$ mixing, or the pure $B(23S_1)$ state, or $B(21S_0)$. (ii) The $B_J(5970)$ resonance may be assigned as the $13D_3$ state in the $B$ meson family, although it as a pure $23S_1$ state cannot be excluded. (iii) The narrow structure around 6064 MeV observed in the $B+K-$ mass spectrum at LHCb may be mainly caused by the $B_{sJ}(6109)$ resonance decaying into $B{*+}K-$, and favors the assignment of the high mass $1D$-wave mixed state $B_s(1D'2)$ with $JP=2-$, although it as the $13D_3$ state cannot be excluded. (iv) The relatively broader $B{sJ}(6114)$ structure observed at LHCb may be explained with the mixed state $B_s(|SD\rangle_H)$ via $23S_1$-$13D_1$ mixing, or a pure $13D_1$ state. Most of the missing $1P$-, $1D$-, and $2S$-wave $B$- and $B_s$-meson states have a relatively narrow width, they are most likely to be observed in their dominant decay channels with a larger data sample at LHCb.
