Ph.D Thesis Title Heavy Quarkonium Spectra and its Decays in the Frame work of Quark Models.
Supervisor: Dr. K. B. Vijaya Kumar (Mangalore University, India).
Abstract: The main aim of the thesis is to study heavy quarkonium properties in the nonrelativistic quark model formalism and to understand the applicability of the model and suggest possible improvements. For heavy quarkonia, we employ instanton potential, Hulthen and one gluon exchange potential. The mass spectrum is obtained by the variational approach and by diagonalizing the Hamiltonian matrix. Three phenomenological models have been proposed by incorporating the suggestions from lattice QCD and other theoretical approaches. Using the potential parameters and numerical solution of wave-function, we have studied meson properties. The properties investigated include mass spectrum, decay constants and radiative transitions. For charmonium, we have also calculated leptonic decays, two-photon and two-gluon decays. The obtained results are compared with the experimental data and the predictions from other approaches.
