The investigation of mixing phenomena and lifetime in neutral B meson systems provides an important testing ground for standard model flavour dynamics. Spectroscopic parameters has been used to calculate the pseudoscalar decay constant and predictions of mixing mass parameters and lifetimes of the B$_{d}$ and B$_{s}$ mesons.
Properties of single heavy flavor baryons in a non relativistic potential model with colour coulomb plus power law confinement potential have been studied. The ground state masses of single heavy baryons and the mass difference between the ($J^{P}={3/2}^{+}$ and $J^{P}={1/2}^{+}$) states are computed using a spin dependent two body potential. Using the spin-flavour structure of the constituting quarks and by defining an effective confined mass of the constituent quarks within the baryons, the magnetic moments are computed. The masses and magnetic moments of the single heavy baryons are found to be in accordance with the existing experimental values and with other theoretical predictions. It is found that an additional attractive interaction of the order of -200 Me$V$ is required for the antisymmetric states of $Λ_{Q}$ (Q$\in c,b)$. It is also found that the spin hyperfine interaction parameters play decisive role in hadron spectroscopy.
Triply heavy flavour baryons are studied using the hyper central description of the three-body system. The confinement potential is assumed as hyper central coulomb plus power potential with power index $p$. The ground state ($J^P={1/2}^+$ and ${3/2}^+$) masses of heavy flavour baryons are computed for different power index, $ p$ starting from 0.5 to 2.0. The predicted masses are found to attain a saturated value with respect to variation in $p$ beyond the power index $p>1.0$. Using the spin-flavour structure of the constituting quarks and by defining effective mass of the confined quarks within the baryons, the magnetic moments are computed with no additional free parameters.
The decay rates and spectroscopy of the $Q \bar Q$ $(Q \in c, b)$ mesons are computed in non-relativistic phenomenological quark antiquark potential of the type $V(r)=-\frac{α_c}{r}+A r^ν$, (CPP$_ν$) with different choices $ν$. Numerical solution of the schrodinger equation has been used to obtain the spectroscopy of $Q\bar{Q}$ mesons. The spin hyperfine, spin-orbit and tensor components of the one gluon exchange interaction are employed to compute the spectroscopy of the few lower $S$ and orbital excited states. The numerically obtained radial solutions are employed to obtain the decay constant, di-gamma and di-leptonic decay widths. The decay widths are determined with and without radiative corrections. Present results are compared with other potential model predictions as well as with the known experimental values.
Heavy flavour baryons containing one or two charm quarks with light flavour combinations are studied using the hyper central description of the three-body system. The confinement potential is assumed as hyper central coulomb plus power potential with power index $ν$. The ground state masses and the magnetic moments of charmed, $J^P={1/2}^+$ and ${3/2}^+$ baryons are computed for different power index, $ ν$ starting from 0.5 to 2.0.
Heavy flavor baryons containing single and double charm (beauty) quarks with light flavor combinations are studied using the hyper central description of the three-body problem. The confinement potential is assumed as hyper central coulomb plus power potential with power index $\upsilon$. The ground state masses of the heavy flavor, $J^P={1/2}^+$ and ${3/2}^+$ baryons are computed for different power index, $ ν$ starting from 0.5 to 2.0. The predicted masses are found to attain a saturated value in each case of quark combinations beyond the power index $ν=1.0$.
The masses of $S$ and $P$ states, pseudoscalar and vector decay constants, leptonic, semileptonic decay widths of charm (D) and beauty (B) open flavour mesons have been computed in the framework of Coulomb and power potential of the form $V(r)=-\frac{α_c}{r}+A r^ν$. The results are compared with other theoretical as well as experimental results.
