The assignments of the bottom mesons within the screened potential model and $^3P_0$ model

Abstract: In this work, we calculate the mass spectrum of the bottom mesons with a modified nonrelativistic quark model by involving the screening effect, and explore their strong decay properties within the $^3P_0$ model. Our results suggest that the $B_1(5721)$, $B^*_2(5747)$, $B_J(5840)$, and $B_J(5970)$ could be reasonably assigned as the $B_1^\prime(1P)$, $B(1^3P_2)$, $B(2^1S_0)$, and $B(1^3D_3)$ respectively. The more precise measurements of the excited bottom mesons are crucial to confirm these assignments.
