Quarkonium suppression is one of the most investigated probes of the medium produced in heavy-ion collisions. In this thesis we extend the well-established and successful zero temperature framework of Non-Relativistic (NR) Effective Field…
We evaluate semileptonic and two--meson nonleptonic decays of the $B_c^-$ meson in the framework of a nonrelativistic quark model. The former are done in spectator approximation using one--body current operators at the quark level. Our…
We examine to what extent several recently discovered narrow resonances can be interpreted as conventional $c\bar{c}$ bound states describable using a potential model. In doing so, we use a semirelativistic approach, which includes both the…

In this work, we investigate the spectroscopy and decay rates of charmonia within the framework of non-relativistic Schr\"{o}dinger equation by employing an approximate inter quark-antiquark potential. The spin hyperfine, spin-orbit and…
We present bound state masses of the self-conjugate and non-self-conjugate mesons in the context of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation taking into account the relativistic kinematics and the quark spins. We apply the usual interaction by adding…
The leptonic decay widths of heavy quarkonia are complementary observables to the semileptonic decays of heavy mesons and provide additional insight into the possible lepton flavor universality breaking. We analyze the former in the…
We extend our treatment of the the spectroscopy and decays of the charm-strange quarkonium system to include the effect of using the full three-loop QCD correction to the static short distance potential. As before, our potential model…
We discuss the central and, mostly, spin-dependent potentials in heavy quarkonia $\bar b b, \bar c c$, with two goals in mind. The first is phenomenological: using the splitting between the 1S and 2S pairs, as well as the 1P and 2P quartet…
We analyze the charmonium states by testing a phenomenological nonrelativistic potential and propose a new set of parameters. This new set of parameters are fixed using only the lowest lying S-wave states of charmonia where the spin-orbit…
Recently a lot of progress has been made in deriving the heavy quark potential within a QCD medium. In this article we have considered heavy quarkonium in a hot quark gluon plasma phase. The heavy-quark potential has been modeled properly…
A class of previously unknown strong-interaction corrections is found to enhance the rate of non-leptonic decays of the b quark by 5-8 percent. This effect decreases the predicted fraction of semi-leptonic decays and brings it into fair…
The mass spectrum of $b\bar{b}$ states has been obtained using the phenomenological relativistic quark model (RQM). The Hamiltonian used in the investigation has confinement potential and confined one gluon exchange potential (COGEP). In…
In this work we use the low-energy EFT called potential non-relativistic QCD (pNRQCD) to calculate the partial decay width of different $b\bar{b}$-states undergoing an electric dipole transition at next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO).…

We study nonleptonic decays of the orbitally excited, \su6 \rep{70}-plet baryons in order to test the hypothesis that the successes of the nonrelativistic quark model have a natural explanation in the large-$N_c$ limit of QCD. By working in…
We calculate the decay width for $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c e {\bar \nu}$ in the frame work of a nonrelativistic quark (NRQ) model of heavy baryons where the light quarks play the role of spectators. Our calculation does not make an explicit…
