Abstract
Part I
Proposed Experimental Tests of the Right-handed Weak Current
All possible experiments which test the SU(2)L x U(1)R x U(1)B-L model and SU(2)L x SU(2)R x U(1)B-L model using the LEP e⁺e⁻ collider and HERA e⁻p collider are calculated and the most sensitive experiments are examined.
Part II
Semi-Phenomenological Theory of (Qq̅) System
The (QQ̅) and (Qq̅) mesons are calculated using a QCD motivated potential model. It is discovered that by including a long distance relativistic correction term derived by Grome, the Coulomb + Linear potential works not only for c and b quarks, but s quark as well. The leptonic decay constants of various (Qq̅) mesons together with their masses are predicted. The topponium states are also discussed.
