Study of the strong and in a non-relativistic quark model
We present results for the strong widths corresponding to the and decays. We apply our
model in Ref. Phys. Rev. D 72, 094022 (2005) where we previously studied the
corresponding transitions in the charmed sector. Our non-relativistic
constituent quark model uses wave functions that take advantage of the
constraints imposed by heavy quark symmetry. Partial conservation of axial
current hypothesis allows us to determine the strong vertices from an analysis
of the axial current matrix elements.Comment: 6 latex pages, 1 table, new references adde
Measuring multipole moments of Weyl metrics by means of gyroscopes
Using the technique of Rindler and Perlick we calculate the total precession
per revolution of a gyroscope circumventing the source of Weyl metrics. We
establish thereby a link between the multipole moments of the source and an
``observable'' quantity. Special attention deserves the case of the
gamma-metric. As an extension of this result we also present the corresponding
expressions for some stationary space-times.Comment: 18 pages Latex, To appear in J.Math.Phy
