Meson decay in a theory of bound quarks

A perturbative method for performing calculations in a theory of permanently bound quarks is fomrulated. This method is then used in first order to verify the locality of the theory and to derive an expression for the meson decay amplitudes (M → M1 + M2). In a bound-quark model in two-dimensional space-time it is shown that the cascade decay mode (M approximately-greater-than M1 very-much-greater-than M2) is dynamically favored over the symmetric decay mode (M very-much-greater-than M1 approx. M2)
