We have investigated the spectra of light-heavy quarkonia with the use of a quantum-chromodynamic potential model which is similar to that used earlier for the heavy quarkonia. An essential feature of our treatment is the inclusion of the…

We derive the the effective lagrangian that describes the interactions among vector, axial-vector mesons and pseudoscalars starting from the extended chiral quark model (ECQM). The results for the low-energy constants of this effective…
Chiral symmetry and heavy quark symmetry constrain the interactions of mesons containing a single heavy quark with low-momentum pions. Chiral corrections to the Isgur-Wise function for $\bar B_s \rightarrow D_s^{(*)}$ versus $\bar B…
We discuss a model for heavy mesons where the light quark (u or d) moves in the colour electric field from a heavy quark (c or b) placed in the center of the bag. We calculate energy spectra for pionic and photonic transitions from excited…
Quark mass ratios are expressed within the linear meson model by universal relations involving only the masses and decay constants of the flavored pseudoscalars as well as their wave function renormalization. Quantitative results are in…
