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.
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 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.
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.
The method reducing the solution of the Schroedinger equation for several types of power potentials to the solution of the eigenvalue problem for the infinite system of algebraic equations is developed. The finite truncation of this system provides high accuracy results for low-lying levels. The proposed approach is appropriate both for analytic calculations and for numerical computations. This method allows also to determine the spectrum of the Schroedinger-like relativistic equations. The heavy quarkonium (charmonium and bottomonium) mass spectra for the Cornell potential and the sum of the Coulomb and oscillator potentials are calculated. The results are in good agreement with experimental data.
The energetic exclusive two-body nonleptonic decays of B mesons are investigated in the framework of the relativistic quark model within the factorization approximation. The heavy quark expansion is used for the calculation of form factors. The obtained results are in agrement with available experimental data.
In the framework of the relativistic quasipotential quark model the mass spectrum of baryons with two heavy quarks is calculated. The quasipotentials for interactions of two quarks and of a quark with a scalar and axial vector diquark are evaluated. The bound state masses of baryons with $J^P=\frac{1}{2}^+, \frac{3}{2}^+$ are computed.
The method of calculating electroweak decay matrix elements between heavy-heavy and heavy-light meson states is developed in the framework of relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach in quantum field theory. This method is applied for the study of exclusive semileptonic $B\toπ(ρ)$ decays. It is shown that the large value of the final $π(ρ)$ meson recoil momentum allows for the expansion in inverse powers of $b$-quark mass of the decay form factors at $q^2=0$, where $q^2$ is a momentum carried by the lepton pair. This $1/m_b$ expansion considerably simplifies the analysis of these decays and is carried out up to the second order. The $q^2$-dependence of the form factors is investigated. It is found that the $q^2$-behaviour of the axial form factor $A_1$ is different from the other form factors. It is argued that the ratios $Γ(B\toρeν)/Γ(B\toπeν)$ and $Γ_L/Γ_T$ are sensitive probes of the $A_1$ $q^2$-dependence, and thus their experimental measurement may discriminate between different approaches. We find $Γ(B\toπeν)=(3.0\pm0.6) \times|V_{ub}|^2\times10^{12}$s$^{-1}$ and $Γ(B\toρeν) =(5.4\pm 1.2)\times|V_{ub}|^2\times10^{12}$s$^{-1}$. The relation between semileptonic and rare radiative $B$-decays is discussed.
The exclusive semileptonic $B\to π(ρ) eν$ decays are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach in quantum field theory. The large recoil momentum of the final $π(ρ)$ meson allows for the expansion of the decay form factors at $q^2=0$ in the inverse powers of $b$-quark mass. This considerably simplifies the analysis of these decays. The $1/m_b$ expansion is carried out up to the first order. It is found that the $q^2$-dependence of the axial form factor $A_1$ is different from the $q^2$-behaviour of other form factors. We find $Γ(B\to πeν)=(3.1\pm 0.6)\times \vert V_{ub}\vert ^2\times 10^{12}$s${}^{-1}$ and $Γ(B\to ρeν)=(5.7\pm 1.2)\times \vert V_{ub}\vert ^2\times 10^{12}$s${}^{-1}$. The relation between semileptonic and rare radiative $B$-decays is discussed.
Using quasipotential approach, we have studied exclusive semileptonic decays of heavy mesons with the account of relativistic effects. Due to more complete relativistic description of the $s$ quark more precise expressions for semileptonic form factors are obtained. Various differential distributions in exclusive semileptonic decays of heavy mesons are calculated. It is argued that consistent account of relativistic effects and HQET motivated choice of the parameters of quark-antiquark potential allow to get reliable value for the ratio $A_2(0)/A_1(0)$ in the $D\to K^*lν_l$ decay as well as the ratio~$Γ(D\to K^*lν_l)/Γ(D\to Klν_l)$. All calculated branching ratios are in accord with available experimental data.
The exclusive rare radiative $B$-decays are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach in quantum field theory. The large recoil momentum of the final vector meson allows for the expansion of the decay form factor in inverse powers of the b-quark mass. This considerably simplifies the analysis of these decays. The $1/m_b$ expansion is carried out up to the second order. The form factor of \btok decay is found to be $F_1^{B\to K^* γ}(0)=0.32\pm 0.03 $ and it leads to $BR(B\to K^*γ)= (4.5\pm 1.5) \times 10^{-5}$, which is in agreement with the recent CLEO data. The form factors of the decays \btorho, \bstophi and \bstok are also considered. The relation between rare radiative and semileptonic $B$-decays into light vector meson is discussed.
