✦ Synopsis

The M1 decay widths of charm and bottom mesons and their excited states are sensitive to the relativistic aspect of the quark current operators and obtain a significant contribution from the interaction current that is associated with the scalar confining interaction between heavy quarks (Q) and light antiquarks (q). Consequently they provide direct evidence on the latter. The spectra and the M1 transition widths of the D, D s and B, B s mesons and their orbital excitations are calculated here within the framework of the Blankenbecler-Sugar equation, which allows a covariant treatment, while retaining a formal similarity to the nonrelativistic approach. The hyperfine interaction in the Qq mesons is modeled by screened gluon exchange, which shares many features with the instanton induced interaction. The quality of the model is tested by calculation of the spectra and M1 decay widths of charmonium.

We report our calculation of the heavy-light decay constants fB and fD on a 203 x 48 lattice at 0 = 5.2 with nf = 2 sea quarks by the fully O(a)-improved Wilson fermion and heavy quarks in Fermilab formalism. We find that the B meson decay constants are consistent with those obtained with the NRQCD

We test the one-loop chiral perturbation theory formula on unquenched lattice data of pseudoscalar meson decay constants. The chiral extrapolation including the effect of the chiral logarithm is attempted and its uncertainty is discussed.

The earlier suggested and developed idea of quark-hadron duality, underlying "bremsstrahlung-weighted" sum rules for total or polarized photon interaction cross sections, is applied to the description of excitation of light scalar mesons in gamma-gamma interactions. The emphasis is put on the discus
