\title{\boldmath{ $B^{*+}$}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ $***$}
\maketitle
The $B^{*+}$ is the lightest vector charged B-meson. The mass is measured and taken from \cite{Yao:2006px} although the lifetime is not. Due to the small mass difference with the lightest pseudoscalar B-mesons the $B^{*+}$ can not decay strongly and therefore the radiative decay is dominant.  The width is taken from the theoretical calculation in \cite{Bardeen:2003kt}  and the $B^{*+}$ is allowed to be off-shell by ten times this width.
The $B^{*+}$ has mass $5325$~MeV and is unstable. The $B^{*+}$ has spin $1$, charge $1$ and is colour neutral.
 The $B^{*+}$ is a meson and is from the $1^3S_1$ multiplet.The $B^{*+}$ has width $0.00078$~MeV. The lower limit on the mass of the particle is $0.0078$~MeV and the upper limit is $0.0078$~MeV. These are the deviations from the on-shell value. The branching ratios are fixed.
The properties of the particle and its antiparticle are taken to be charge-conjugate to each other.
 The PDG code is 523.
