Within a lattice inspired interaction between quark and antiquark, we obtain a hierarchy of solutions to the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) for vector quarkonia excited states in the constituent quark mass approximation. As a toy model, we…
The mass and decay constant of the heavy quarkonia $h_{Q}(1P)$ and $h_{Q}(2P)$ (Q = b, c) with quantum numbers $J^{PC} =1^{+-}$ are calculated in the framework of the two-point QCD sum rule method by taking into account the vacuum…
We present a calculation of the spectrum of charmonia, bottomonia and B_c-meson states with `ordinary' and exotic quantum numbers. We discuss the merits and limitations of a rainbow-ladder truncation of Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter…
This study employs QCD sum rules to predict the masses and residues of spin-$\frac {3}{2} $ doubly heavy baryons including two heavy quarks (c and/or b) and one light quark, specifically focusing on $ \Xi_{cc}^*$, $ \Xi_{bc}^*$, $…
We extend the range of application of the relativistic Dyson-Schwinger/Bethe-Salpeter approach from previously discussed mesons with total angular momentum $J \le 3$ to the ones with $J=4,5$. On a technical level, the new element is the…
Dyson-Schwinger equation (DSE) studies show that the b-quark mass-function is approximately constant, and that this is true to a lesser extent for the c-quark. These observations provide the basis for a study of the leptonic and…
This paper is a prosecution of a previous work where we presented a unified two-fermion covariant scheme which produced very precise results for the masses of light and heavy mesons. We extend the analysis to some radiative decays of mesons…
We summarise a Dyson-Schwinger-equation-based calculation of an extensive range of light- and heavy-meson observables, characterised by heavy-meson leptonic decays, semileptonic heavy-to-heavy and heavy-to-light transitions, radiative and…
We study the charmonium 2S states $\psi'$ and $\eta_c'$, and the bottomonium 2S states $\Upsilon'$ and $\eta_b'$, using the light-front quark model and the 2S state wave function of harmonic oscillator as the approximation of the 2S…
We reproduce masses of the self-conjugate and non-self-conjugate mesons in the context of the spinless Salpeter equation taking into account the relativistic kinematics and the quark spins. The hyperfine splittings for the ${\rm 2S}$…
