The method of QCD sum rules is applied to light-heavy quark systems, with detail treatment of the D and B mesons. We calculate the masses for the pseudo-scalar and vector states and their leptonic
decay constants
in a unified approach.
The applications of the QCD sum rule method[l] to the light (q) and heavy (Q) quark systems have been done more than ten years ago[2,3]. The heavy-light quark systems have been given considerable attention recently due to the finding of the heavy quark symmetry[4], and the effective field theory[ti]. The consequence of the heavy quark symmetry is that the pseudoscalar and the vector states of a light-heavy quark system should have the same masses and leptonic decay constants, and thus the differences of their masses and leptonic decay constants, f, come from the symmetry breaking effects that are of the order of l/M*. They have been calculated for the B systems using the static quark approximation and the l/Mg expansion[6-81. However, application of the static quark approximation to the L? system in which the heavy quark is a charm quark would be more problematic, since it may need the symmetry breaking terms that are proportional to l/M6. The focus in this paper is the application of the QCD sum rules from the standard QCD field theory to the light-heavy system. Since the effective field theory and the full theory differ at tree ievel[fi], th e connection between the QCD sum rule in the full field theory and the static quark theory is by no means trivial. Thus, investigation in the full field theory provides an important test of the QCD sum rules in the effective theory[8]. B ecause no static quark approximation is used, one could also apply the QCD sum rule in the full theory to the D system which can not be easily done in the effective theory. The starting point of the QCD sum rules is the evaluation of the two point function I&(Q) = i 1 $4zei9r (Ol~(~~(~)~~(O))l6) for the pseudoscalar n,&)

wg for a finite WE, in the same time, the masses for the pseudoscalar
and
vector states should also be independent of WB. In Fig. 1, we show the result for the B systems, Figure l-a shows the mass difference between the pseudoscalar and vector mesons, and Figure l-b shows the result for the mass of the vector B meson states, the agreement with experiments is very good. We show the result for the C systems in Figure 2. The parameter wp and wv in this analysis are wp - 0.68 - 0.72 GeV and w, = 0.76 - 0.80 GeV for the B system and wp - 0.60 - 0.66 GeV, w, - 0.74 - 0.8 GeV. The mass difference between the pseudoscalar and vector current states is generated the different Wilson coefficients in Eq. 3 for the pseudoscalar and vector states at order (Y, and l/M*, in particular the contributions from the coefficients Cl and C’s are most important,and because they are of order (Y, and independent of MQ the quantity Mi - M$ in Eq. 21 decreases as the heavy quark mass MQ decreases, which is the opposite to the trend of the data. The renormalization group effects[8] might be the source for such discrepancy. The leptonic decay constants are obtained automatically from this analysis, we find fB = 95 MeV, f~* = 103 MeV, and fo = 130 MeV, foe = 150 MeV, which are consistent with other analysis. In conclusion, we present a unified approach to the light-heavy quark systems. We find the pseudoscalar-vector mass difference M,’ - Mi = 0.47 GeV2 for the B system which agrees with the data, and Mz - Mj = 0.40 GeV’ for the D systems. The same formalism can also be used to calculate the isospin violations for the mass difference using the methods recently applied to the neutron-proton mass difference[l2], which is in progress and will be presented elsewhere[ll].
