Mixing effects on spectroscopy and partonic observables of heavy mesons with logarithmic confining potential in a light-front quark model

초록

Using the variational principle, we systematically investigate the mass spectra and wave functions of both 1S and 2S state heavy pseudoscalar (P) and vector (V) mesons within the light-front quark model. This approach incorporates a Coulomb plus logarithmic confinement potential to accurately describe the constituent quark and antiquark dynamics. Additionally, spin hyperfine interactions are introduced perturbatively to compute the masses of pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The present analyses of the 1S and 2S states require the consideration of mixing between them to account for empirical constraints. These constraints include the mass gap OMP >OMV, where OMP(V) = M-P(V)(2S) - M-P(V)(1S) and the hierarchy of the decay constants f 1S > f 2S . We find the optimal value of the mixing angle to be theta = 18 degrees, significantly enhancing the consistency between our spectroscopic predictions and the experimental data compiled by the Particle Data Group. Furthermore, based on the predicted mass, the newly observed resonance B J ( 5840 ) could be assigned as a 2(1) S-0 state in the B meson family. The study also reports various pertinent observables, including twist-two distribution amplitudes, electromagnetic form factors, charge radii, xi moments, and transition form factors that are found to be consistent with both available lattice simulations and experimental data. In addition, our predicted branching ratios for the channels of B+ -> tau(+)nu(tau) as well as rare decays of B-0 and B(s )(0)appear in accordance with experimental data.
