Relativistic Quark Model of Heavy Hadrons IV

The investigation of properties of heavy hadrons is important both from a theoretical and experimental point of view. In particular, the decays of hadrons containing a heavy (charm or bottom) quark provide a means to measure fundamental parameters of the Standard Model (such as the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements, the strong coupling constant), to understand the role of strong interactions in weak decays, to search for the effects of CP-violation and perhaps reveal some new physics beyond the Standard Model. In the framework of the proposed project the systematic and comprehensive investigation of the mass spectra and electroweak decays of heavy hadrons is planned. The importance and actuality of these investigations is strongly supported by current and forthcoming experiments (CMS, ATLAS, LHC-b at LHC; CDF, D0, SELEX, FOCUS, BTeV at Fermilab; CLEO III at CESR; BaBar and SLD at SLAC; BES at BEPC and BELLE at KEKB; ZEUS, H1, HERA B at HERA; PHENIX at RHIC) which will provide a vast variety of more accurate data on the properties of heavy hadrons. Our results are widely used by these collaborations. Thus the realization of this investigation will allow the universal description of the composite structure of heavy hadrons and will lead to the better understanding of the relativistic quark dynamics in hadrons.
