Abstract

Properties of bottom and bottom-strange mesons are computed in two relativized quark models. Model masses and wavefunctions are used to predict radiative transition rates and the 3P0^3P_0 quark pair creation model is used to compute strong decay widths. A comparison to recently observed bottom and bottom-strange states is made. We find that there are numerous excited BB and BsB_s mesons that have relatively narrow widths and significant branching ratios to simple final states such as BπBπ, B∗πB^*π, BKBK, and B∗KB^*K that could be observed in the near future.
