We study electromagnetic transitions: $B_c^*(ns)\to B_c(ns) e^+ e^-$, $B_c^*(ns)\to B_c(n^{\prime}s) e^+ e^-$ and $B_c(ns)\to B^*_c(n^{\prime}s) e^+ e^-$ in the relativistic independent quark (RIQ) model based on a flavor-independent…
Valuable data on quarkonia (the bound states of a heavy quark Q=c,b and the corresponding antiquark) have recently been provided by a variety of sources, mainly e+ e- collisions, but also hadronic interactions. This permits a thorough…
The large relativistic corrections to the constituent quark current operators improve the predictions for the axial couplings of the baryons, but worsen those for their magnetic moments. The exchange current corrections that are associated…
The electromagnetic transition moments of the $SU(3)$-flavor baryon octet to decuplet are examined within a lattice simulation of quenched QCD. The magnetic transition moment for the $N \; \gamma \to \Delta$ channel is found to be in…
