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.vi, 111 leavesapplication/pdfen-USIn CopyrightLD5655.V856 1985.W36Lepton interactionsQuarksDissertation
