The experimental spectrum of excited S-wave vector mesons with hidden quark flavor reveals a remarkable property: For all flavors, it is approximately linear in mass squared, $m_n^2\approx a(n+b)$, $n$ is the radial quantum number. We draw…
A new method to study the retardation effects in mesons is presented. Inspired from the covariant oscillator quark model, it is applied to the rotating string model in which a non zero value is allowed for the relative time between the…
Quark models taking into account the dynamical effects of hadronic decay often produce very different predictions for mass shifts in the hadron spectrum. The consequences for meson spectroscopy can be dramatic and completely obscure the…

We continue our program of describing hadrons as rotating strings with massive endpoints. In this paper we propose models of baryons and confront them with the baryon Regge trajectories. We show that these are best fitted by a model of a…
We investigate the structure of the meson Regge trajectories based on the quadratic form of the spinless Salpeter-type equation. It is found that the forms of the Regge trajectories depend on the energy region. As the employed Regge…
Recent research has indicated that meson and baryon Regge trajectories are nonlinear and that all current models are ruled out by data. Tang and Norbury have identified a number of properties for Regge trajectories: a test zone for…

The relativistic three-body problem is approached via the extension of the SL(2,C) group to the Sp(4,C) one. In terms of Sp(4,C) spinors, a Dirac-like equation with three-body kinematics is composed. After introducing the linear in…
Light-baryon resonances with u,d, and s quarks only can be classified using the non-relativistic quark model. When we assign to baryon resonances with total angular momenta J intrinsic orbital angular momenta L and spin S we make the…
The decay constants of pseudoscalar mesons are calculated in a relativistic quark model which assumes that mesons are made of a valence quark antiquark pair and of an effective vacuum like component. The results are given in terms of quark…
From only two elementary quarks ($\epsilon_{u}(0) $ and $\epsilon_{d}(0)) $ and the symmetries of the regular rhombic dodecahedron, using phenomenological formulae, we deduced the rest masses and the intrinsic quantum numbers (I, S, C, b…
Properties of bottom and bottom-strange mesons are computed in two relativized quark models. Model masses and wavefunctions are used to predict radiative transition rates and the $^3P_0$ quark pair creation model is used to compute strong…
It is shown that the proton "spin crisis'' or "spin puzzle" can be understood by the relativistic effect of quark transversal motions due to the Melosh-Wigner rotation. The quark helicity $\Delta q$ measured in polarized deep inelastic…
