QED Penguin Contributions To Isospin Splittings of Heavy-Light Quark Systems

Recent experiments show that the isospin-violating mass splitting of the B mesons is very small, but the best fits with a QCD sum rule analysis give a splitting of at least 1.0 MeV. The isospin-violating mass splittings of the charmed mesons, on the other hand, are in agreement with experiment. In this letter we show that the inclusion of 2$^{nd}$ kind QED penguin diagrams can account for this discrepancy within the errors in the QCD sum rule method.Comment: 9 pages, latex, 2 figure

Sigma and Pion Decays of Mixed Heavy Hybrids

We estimate the relative branching ratio of $\sigma$ to 2$\pi$ for the decay of the $\Psi'(2S)$, which we have found to be a mixed charm and hybrid charmonium meson. The external field method and correlators from a previous calculation are used to estimate these decays. We find the $\sigma$ to 2$\pi$ branching ratio for $\Psi'(2S)$ to the $J/\Psi(1S)$ decay to be 0.98, in agreement with an experiment at IHEP-BES.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure

Heavy Quark State Production In p-p Collisions

We estimate the relative probabilities of $\Psi'(2S)$ to $J/\Psi$ production at BNL-RHIC and $\Upsilon(nS)$ production at the LHC and Fermilab in p-p collisions, using our recent theory of mixed heavy quark hybrids, in which the $\Psi'(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(3S)$ mesons have approximately equal normal $q\bar{q}$ and hybrid $q\bar{q}g$ components.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figure
