Journal ArticleDOI
Baryons in a relativized quark model with chromodynamics
Simon Capstick,Nathan Isgur +1 more
TL;DR: The three quark system is studied in a relativized version of the quark potential model with chromodynamics and the spectrum of baryons is described with parameters consistent with those of an analogous study of meson spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weak decays of heavy mesons in the static quark approximation
Nathan Isgur,Mark B. Wise +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors exploit these static quark symmetries to derive model-independent normalizations of some weak hadronic matrix elements involving heavy quarks, as well as many relationships between such matrix elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weak transition form factors between heavy mesons
Nathan Isgur,Mark B. Wise +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an extension of their earlier observations on symmetries in operation in the weak decays of heavy mesons containing a single heavy quark, which allow them to obtain absolutely normalized model-independent predictions in the heavy quarks limit of all of the form factors for the Q1 → Q2 induced weak pseudoscalar and pseudoscalar to vector transitions in terms of a single universal function ξ(t) with ξ (0) = 1.
Journal ArticleDOI
P Wave Baryons in the Quark Model
Nathan Isgur,Gabriel Karl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spectrum and mixing angles of negative-parity baryons in a quark-model framework inspired by quantum chromodynamics were discussed, and good agreement with experiment in the $S = 0$ and $S=\ensuremath{-}1$ sectors were obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semileptonic B and D Decays in the Quark Model
TL;DR: It is argued that in the high-energy electron end-point region in B decay the usual inclusive ("quark decay") calculations are unjustified and must be replaced by explicit sums over decays of the original meson into low-mass exclusive hadronic final states.
