Hadrons with Charm and Beauty

By combining potential models and QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR), we discuss the spectroscopy of the $(b\bar c)$ mesons and of the $(bcq)$, $(ccq)$ and $(bbq)$ baryons (${q}\equiv {d}$ or $s$), the decay constant and the (semi)leptonic decay modes of the $B_c$ meson. For the masses, the best predictions come from potential models and read: $M_{B_c} = (6255 \pm 20)$~MeV, $M_{B^*_c} = (6330 \pm 20)$~MeV, $M_{Λ(bcu)} = (6.93\pm 0.05)$~GeV, $M_{Ω(bcs)} = (7.00\pm 0.05)$~GeV, $M_{Ξ^*(ccu)} =(3.63\pm 0.05)$~GeV and $M_{Ξ^*(bbu)} = (10.21\pm 0.05)$~GeV. The decay constant $f_{B_c} = (2.94 \pm 0.21) f_π$ is well determined from QSSR and leads to: $Γ(B_c \rightarrow ν_ττ) = (3.0 \pm 0.4)( V_{cb}/0.037 )^2$ $\times 10^{10}$ s$^{-1}$.The uses of the vertex sum rules for the semileptonic decays of the $B_c$ show that the $t$-dependence of the form factors is much stronger than predicted by vector meson dominance. It also predicts the almost equal strength of about 0.30 $\times 10^{10}$ sec$^{-1}$ for the semileptonic rates $B_c$ into $B_s, B^*_s,η_c$ and J/$ψ$. Besides these phenomenological results, we also show explicitly how the Wilson coefficients of the $\langleα_s G^2\rangle$ and $\langle G^3\rangle$ gluon condensates already contain the full heavy quark- ($\langle\bar QQ\rangle$) and mixed- ($\langle\bar QGQ\rangle$) condensate contributions in the OPE.}
