Mesons in relativistic quark model

In the relativistic quark model formulated in the infinite momentum frame a self-consistent description has been obtained for a pion, ω- and ρ-mesons, K- and K*-mesons. The role of the relativistic effects in the description of radiative, leptonic and semileptonic decays of heavy quarkonia is studied. The relativistic effects are shown to lead to noticeable suppression of the ψ → ηcγ decay width predicted in nonrelativistic approximation; however the discrepancy with the experimental data still remains. Predictions are obtained for amplitudes of D → μν, Ds → μν, B → μν, D → πeν and D → Keν decays. The relativistic effects are shown to lead to strong supperssion of coupling constants of D → μν, Ds → μν, B → μν decays. The prediction obtained for the coupling constant FD = 230-270 MeV is close to the boundary of available experimental restriction. 46 refs.; 2 figs.; 5 tabs
