A general approach to accounting for retardation effects in the long-range (confining) part of the quark-antiquark potential is presented. The charmonium and bottomonium mass spectra are calculated with the systematic account of relativistic and retardation effects and the one-loop radiative corrections. A good fit to available experimental data on the mass spectra is obtained.
Exclusive semileptonic B decays to orbitally and radially excited charmed mesons are investigated in the first order of the heavy quark expansion. The emerging leading and subleading Isgur-Wise functions are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model. It is found that both relativistic and the 1/m_Q corrections play an important role and substantially modify results. An interesting interplay between different corrections is observed.
The contribution of Δisobar to the correction on proton polarizability in the hyperfine splitting of hydrogen and muonic hydrogen is calculated with the account of the experimental data on N-Δtransition form factors.
Self-energy corrections of order O(alpha^2) to the parapositronium and orthopositronium decay rates are calculated. Numerical values of the corresponding coefficients are B_p=-3.74, B_o=2.02.
The contribution of hadronic vacuum polarization to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen is evaluated with the account of modern experimental data on the cross section of $e^+e^-$ annihilation into hadrons. The numerical value of this contribution to the (2P-2S) shift in muonic hydrogen is equal to 10.77 $μeV$.
The contribution of hadronic vacuum polarization to the hyperfine splitting of the muonic hydrogen ground state is calculated with the account of experimental data on the cross section of e^+e^-\to annihilation into hadrons and the dipole parameterization of electromagnetic proton form factors.
Exclusive semileptonic B decays to radially excited charmed mesons are investigated at the first order of the heavy quark expansion. The arising leading and subleading Isgur-Wise functions are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model. It is found that the 1/m_Q corrections play an important role and substantially modify results. An interesting interplay between different corrections is found. As a result the branching ratio for the B-> D'eνdecay is essentially increased by 1/m_Q corrections, while the one for B-> D*'eνis only slightly influenced by them.
The charmonium and bottomonium mass spectra are calculated with the systematic account of all relativistic corrections of order v^2/c^2 and the one-loop radiative corrections. Special attention is paid to the contribution of the retardation effects to the spin-independent part of the quark-antiquark potential, and a general approach to accounting for retardation effects in the long-range (confining) part of the potential is presented. A good fit to available experimental data on the mass spectra is obtained.
Exclusive semileptonic decays of B mesons to orbitally excited D mesons are considered beyond the infinitely heavy quark limit in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. This model agrees with the structure of heavy quark mass corrections predicted by the heavy quark effective theory and allows the determination of corresponding leading and subleading Isgur-Wise functions. It is found that both relativistic and 1/m_Q contributions significantly influence the decay rates. Thus, relativistic transformations of the meson wave functions (Wigner rotation of the light quark spin) already contribute at leading order of the heavy quark expansion and result in a suppression of B\to D^{*}_0eνand B\to D^{*}_1eνdecay rates. On the other hand, the vanishing of the decay matrix elements at zero recoil of a final D^{**} meson in the infinitely heavy quark mass limit makes the 1/m_Q corrections to be very important, and their account results in a substantial enhancement of B\to D_1eνand B\to D^{*}_0eνdecay rates.
The proton structure and proton polarizability corrections to the Lamb shift of electronic hydrogen and muonic hydrogen were evaluated on the basis of modern experimental data on deep inelastic structure functions. Numerical value of proton polarizability contribution to (2P-2S) Lamb shift is equal to 4.4 GHz.
The relativistic transformation properties of the heavy quark-antiquark interaction potential are considered in the framework of the relativistic quark model. A special attention is paid to the long-range (confining) contribution to the spin-independent part of qq bar interaction. The retardation effects are consistently taken into account.
The mass spectrum of orbitally and radially excited states of B and D mesons is calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The expansion in inverse powers of the heavy quark mass is carried out up to the first order, while the light quark is treated without expansion. We find that the relativistic treatment of the light quark plays an important role. Different patterns of P level inversion are discussed. The obtained masses of orbitally and radially excited states are in accord with available experimental data and heavy quark symmetry relations.
Relativistic properties of qqbar potentail, mass spectra of orbitally and radially excited B and D mesons as well as semileptonic decays of B mesons to orbitally excited D mesons are discussed in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach.
The contribution of hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) to the hyperfine splitting of the muonium ground state is evaluated with the account of modern experimental data on the cross section of $e^+e^- \to$ annihilation into hadrons.
In the framework of the quasipotential method we calculate the contributions of the kind (Zα)^6m_e^2/m_μto the energy spectrum of the muonium n^3S_1 states. Numerical value of obtained correction for 2^3S_1-1^3S_1 muonium fine structure interval is equal to 0.19 MHz.
Exclusive semileptonic B meson decays to orbitally excited D mesons are investigated in the infinitely heavy quark limit in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. The B\to D^{**}eνIsgur-Wise functions τ_{3/2}(w) and τ_{1/2}(w) are determined. It is found that the relativistic transformation of the meson wave functions (Wigner rotation of the light quark spin) contribute already at the leading order of the heavy quark expansion.
The energetic exclusive two-body nonleptonic decays of B mesons are investigated in the framework of the relativistic quark model within the factorization approximation.
In the framework of the quasipotential method we calculate the contributions of the kind α^6\lnα, alpha^6 of three-photon exchange diagrams to the energy spectrum of muonium $n^3S_1$ state in the leading order on $m_e/m_μ$. Analytical expression of obtained correction for arbitrary principal quantum number is equal to (Zα)^6(m_e/m_μ)m_e(6\ln(2)-35/48)/n^3.
