Abstract

Ranges of predicted masses for as yet unseen particles containing

b

quarks are obtained and compared with previous estimates. Nonrelativistic models are found to yield likely values in the ranges

M (B_{s}) = 5345 - 5388

MeV,

M (B_{s}^{*}) = 5400 - 5433

MeV,

M (B_{c}) = 6194 - 6292

MeV,

M (B_{c}^{*}) = 6284 - 6357

MeV,

M (Λ_{b}) = 5600 - 5630

Mev, with

Σ_{b}

and

Σ_{b}^{*}

not far above 5800 MeV.
