Properties of orbitally excited heavy-light (Qq-bar) mesons.

Orbitally excited heavy-light ([ital Q[bar q]]) mesons are potentially important as tools for tagging the flavors and momenta of ground-state pseudoscalars detected through weak decays. We use heavy-quark symmetry supplemented by insights gleaned from potential models to estimate masses and widths of [ital p]-wave [ital B], [ital B][sub [ital s]], and [ital D][sub [ital s]] mesons. We generalize these results to higher excitations.
