In the heavy quark limit, the heavy baryons \omega_{Q}^{(*)} (\omega could be \Sigma, \Xi or \Omega and Q=b or c) are regarded as composed of a heavy quark and an axial vector, light diquark with good spin and isospin quantum numbers. Based…
Two-body bound states such as mesons are described by solutions of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We discuss recent results for the pseudoscalar and vector meson masses and leptonic decay constants, ranging from pions up to c\bar{c} bound…
