Title: Recent results on B spectroscopy at the Tevatron

Conference ·

The Tevatron collider at Fermilab provides a rich environment for B spectroscopy. Recently the first direct observation of the B{sub c} meson has reduced its mass uncertainty by two orders of magnitude. A search for {eta}{sub b} mesons provides the best limit on its production in p{bar p} colliders. In studies on orbitally excited B{sub d} mesons for the first time the narrow states could be separated from each other. The orbitally excited B{sub s} mesons have been observed for the first time. With the charged {Sigma}{sub b}{sup (*)} a second B baryon could be established beside the {Lambda}{sub b}.
