Spectrum and structure of $B_c$ mesons on the light-front

Recent measurements at LHC have renewed the theoretical interest in the production, spectrum and decay of charm-beauty ($B_c$) mesons. We solve for the low-lying $(b\bar{c})$ states using a light-front Hamiltonian with a confining interaction based on AdS/QCD holography plus one-gluon exchange that gives a good description of charmonium and botomonium[1, 2]. Without adjusting any parameters we find good agreement for the ground state $B_c$ mass compared to experiment. We also discuss the spectrum below threshold, and compare our results with quark model calculations. The corresponding light-front wave functions can be used to calculate other observables such as the decays constants, distribution amplitudes, and GPDs. [1] Y. Li, P. Maris, and J.P.
