Fine structure splittings of excited P and D states in charmonium
It is shown that the fine structure splittings of the and
excited states in charmonium are as large as those of the state if the
same is used. The predicted mass
GeV appears to be 120 MeV lower that the center of gravity of the
multiplet and lies below the threshold. Our value of
is approximately 80 MeV lower than that from the paper by Godfrey and Isgur
while the differences in the other masses are \la 20 MeV. Relativistic
kinematics plays an important role in our analysis.Comment: 12 page
Selection and reconstruction of the top quarks in the all-hadronic decays at a Linear Collider
A method of reconstruction of the top quarks produced in the process E+E- ->
t\bar{t} -> 6 jets at a Linear Collider (LC) is proposed. The approach does not
involve a kinematic fit, as well as assumptions on the invariant masses of the
dijets originating from the decays of W bosons and, therefore, the method is
expected to be less sensitive to theoretical and experimental uncertainties on
the top-mass measurement than traditional reconstruction methods. For the first
time, the reconstruction of the top quarks was investigated using the full LC
detector simulation after taking into account the background arising from QCD
multi-jet production.Comment: 22 pages, including 13 figures and 3 table
Nonperturbative hyperfine contribution to the and meson masses
Due to the nonperturbative contribution to the hyperfine splitting the mass
of the state is strongly correlated with the center of gravity of the multiplet: is less than by about 40 MeV (20 MeV) for the 1P (2P) state. For
the agreement with experiment is reached only if belongs to the
multiplet. The predicted mass of is MeV.
For the isoscalar meson a correlation between the mass of (1170)
and composed from light (strange) quarks also
takes place.Comment: 22 pages RevTe
Glueball spectrum and the Pomeron in the Wilson loop approach
Using a nonperturbative method based on asymptotic behaviour of Wilson loops
we calculate masses of glueballs and corresponding Regge-trajectories. The only
input is string tension fixed by meson Regge slope, while perturbative
contributions to spin splittings are defined by standard alpha_s values. The
masses of lowest glueball states are in a perfect agreement with lattice
results. The leading glueball trajectory which is associated with Pomeron is
discussed in details and its mixing with f and f' trajectories is taken into
account.Comment: LaTeX2e, 49 pages, 2 figure
QCD string in light-light and heavy-light mesons
The spectra of light-light and heavy-light mesons are calculated within the
framework of the QCD string model, which is derived from QCD in the Wilson loop
approach. Special attention is payed to the proper string dynamics that allows
us to reproduce the straight-line Regge trajectories with the inverse slope
being 2\pi\sigma for light-light and twice as small for heavy-light mesons. We
use the model of the rotating QCD string with quarks at the ends to calculate
the masses of several light-light mesons lying on the lowest Regge trajectories
and compare them with the experimental data as well as with the predictions of
other models. The masses of several low-lying orbitally and radially excited
heavy--light states in the D, D_s, B, and B_s meson spectra are calculated in
the einbein (auxiliary) field approach, which has proven to be rather accurate
in various calculations for relativistic systems. The results for the spectra
are compared with the experimental and recent lattice data. It is demonstrated
that an account of the proper string dynamics encoded in the so-called string
correction to the interquark interaction leads to an extra negative
contribution to the masses of orbitally excited states that resolves the
problem of the identification of the D(2637) state recently claimed by the
DELPHI Collaboration. For the heavy-light system we extract the constants
\bar\Lambda, \lambda_1, and \lambda_2 used in Heavy Quark Effective Theory
(HQET) and find good agreement with the results of other approaches.Comment: RevTeX, 42 pages, 7 tables, 7 EPS figures, uses epsfig.sty, typos

Di-Pion Decays of Heavy Quarkonium in the Field Correlator Method
Mechanism of di-pion transitions in
bottomonium and charmonium is studied with the use of the chiral
string-breaking Lagrangian allowing for the emission of any number of
and not containing fitting parameters. The transition amplitude
contains two terms, , where first term (a) refers to subsequent one-pion
emission: and second term
(b) refers to two-pion emission: . The one-parameter formula for the di-pion mass
distribution is derived, (phase space) , where
. The
parameter dependent on the process is calculated, using SHO wave
functions and imposing PCAC restrictions (Adler zero) on amplitudes a,b. The
resulting di-pion mass distributions are in agreement with experimental data.Comment: 62 pages,8 tables,7 figure
A connection between inclusive semileptonic decays of bound and free heavy quarks
A relativistic constituent quark model, formulated on the light-front, is
used to derive a new parton approximation for the inclusive semileptonic decay
width of the B-meson. A simple connection between the decay rate of a free
heavy-quark and the one of a heavy-quark bound in a meson or in a baryon is
established. The main features of the new approach are the treatment of the
b-quark as an on-mass-shell particle and the inclusion of the effects arising
from the b-quark transverse motion in the B-meson. In a way conceptually
similar to the deep-inelastic scattering case, the B-meson inclusive width is
expressed as the integral of the free b-quark partial width multiplied by a
bound-state factor related to the b-quark distribution function in the B-meson.
The non-perturbative meson structure is described through various quark-model
wave functions, constructed via the Hamiltonian light-front formalism using as
input both relativized and non-relativistic potential models. A link between
spectroscopic quark models and the B-meson decay physics is obtained in this
way. Our predictions for the B -> X_c l nu_l and B -> X_u l nu_l decays are
used to extract the CKM parameters |V_cb| and |V_ub| from available inclusive
data. After averaging over the various quark models adopted and including
leading-order perturbative QCD corrections, we obtain |V_cb| = (43.0 +/-
0.7_exp +/- 1.8_th) 10^-3 and |V_ub| = (3.83 +/- 0.48_exp +/- 0.14_th) 10^-3,
implying |V_ub / V_cb| = 0.089 +/- 0.011_exp +/- 0.005_th, in nice agreement
with existing predictions.Comment: revised version with pQCD corrections included, to appear in Physical
