Abstract

The strong decay amplitudes and radiative partial widths of orbital and radially excited states of B and B_s mesons are presented. These results are obtained with a nonrelativistic potential quark model, the nonrelativistic reduction of the electromagnetic transition operator, and the ³ P ₀ model of strong decays. The predictions are compared to experiment where possible and assignments for the recently discovered states, , , , , , and , are made.
