The well-known problem of the unknown power corrections within QCD improved factorisation leaves the interpretation of the so-called LHCb anomalies in the angular observables of B-->K* mu+ mu- as an open problem. In order to contribute to…

The spectra and decay rates of $c \bar c$ and $b \bar b$ levels are well described, for the most part, by a power-law potential of the form $V(r)=\lambda(r^{\alpha}-1)/\alpha+{\rm const.}$, where $\alpha\simeq 0$. The results of an…
