Abstract

Masses and decay constants of mesons containing a single c or b quark are described within the framework of heavy-quark symmetry. The B_s^* - B_s and B^*0 - B⁰ mass splittings are found equal to within a fraction of an MeV. Decay constants of D and B mesons are estimated using isospin mass splittings in the D, D^*, B, and B^* states to isolate the electromagnetic hyperfine interaction between quarks. A relation following from the use of splittings in kaons is also considered.
