Meson spectra and wave functions in a covariant version of the linear-plus-Coulomb potential quark model
We examine mass spectra and wave functions of nn, cc and bb meson systems in the covariant oscillator quark model with the four-dimensional color-Coulomb interaction and find that these spectra are described well. Our results seem to suggest that the present model may be considered effectively as a covariant version of the nonrelativistic linear-plus-Coulomb potential quark model.

Radiative decays of charmed mesons in the covariant oscillator quark model
We report on a study of the radiative decays for the ground S -wave and the excited P -wave charmed ( c u ¯ , c d ¯ ) mesons applying the covariant oscillator quark model. The obtained results are compared with experimental data including a recently reported D 1 ( 2420 ) 0 → D 0 γ , and other quark-model predictions. These predictions could provide a useful clue as to search for the radiative decays of excited D mesons in the foreseeable future experiments at the B-factories.

One-gluon exchange effects on linear meson trajectories in the covariant oscillator quark model
SummaryWe investigate one-gluon exchange effects on the linear Regge trajectories of all quark-antiquark meson systems, from light through heavy quarks, in the framework of the covariant oscillator quark model. This model gives linearly rising trajectories to both orbitally and radially excited states in the limit of neglecting perturbative QCD effects. We find that the spin-independent one-gluon exchange interaction barely affects the orbital excitations, preserving the well-known linearity of the leading Regge trajectories, but for the radial excitations it makes an appropriate contribution, in conformity with the observed behaviour largely deviating from the linear trajectories. We also calculate the hyperfine mass splittings of all ground-stateS-wave mesons. For as yet unknown mass splittings, we findM(B*c)−M(Bc)≈50 MeV andM(Y)−M(ηb)≈49 MeV.

Triangular solution to the general relativistic three-body problem for general masses
Continuing work initiated in an earlier publication [Ichita, Yamada and Asada, Phys. Rev. D 83, 084026 (2011)], we reexamine the post-Newtonian effects on Lagrange's equilateral triangular solution for the three-body problem. For three finite masses, it is found that a triangular configuration satisfies the post-Newtonian equation of motion in general relativity, if and only if it has the relativistic corrections to each side length. This post-Newtonian configuration for three finite masses is not always equilateral and it recovers previous results for the restricted three-body problem when one mass goes to zero. For the same masses and angular velocity, the post-Newtonian triangular configuration is always smaller than the Newtonian one.

Possible altitudinal, latitudinal, and directional dependence of the relativistic Sagnac effect in Chern-Simons modified gravity
Toward a test of parity violation in a gravity theory, possible effects of Chern-Simons (CS) gravity on an interferometer have been recently discussed. Continuing work initiated in an earlier publication [Okawara, Yamada and Asada, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 231101 (2012)], we study possible altitudinal and directional dependence of relativistic Sagnac effect in CS modified gravity. We compare the CS effects on Sagnac interferometers with the general relativistic Lense-Thirring (LT) effects. Numerical calculations show that the eastbound Sagnac interferometer might be preferred for testing CS separately, because LT effects on this interferometer cancel out. The size of the phase shift induced in the CS model might have an oscillatory dependence also on the altitude of the interferometer through the CS mass parameter $m_{CS}$. Therefore, the international space station site as well as a ground-based experiment is also discussed.

Possible latitude effects of Chern-Simons gravity on quantum interference
It has been recently suggested that possible effects of Chern-Simons gravity on a quantum interferometer are dependent on the latitude and direction of the interferometer on Earth in orbital motion around Sun. Continuing work initiated in the earlier publication [Okawara, Yamada and Asada, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 231101 (2012)], we perform numerical calculations of time variation in the induced phase shifts for nonequatorial cases. We show that the maximum phase shift at any latitude might occur at 6, 0 (and 12), and 18 hours (in local time) of each day, when the normal vector to the interferometer is vertical, eastbound and northbound, respectively. If two identical interferometers were located at different latitudes, the difference between two phase shifts that are measured at the same local time would be $O(\sin \delta\varphi)$ for a small latitude difference $\delta\varphi$. It might thus become maximally $\sim 20$ percents for $\delta\varphi \sim 10$ degrees, for instance.

Post-Newtonian effects of planetary gravity on the perihelion shift
We consider a coplanar system comprising of a massive central body (a star), a less massive secondary (a planet) on a circular orbit, and a test particle on a bound orbit exterior to that of the secondary. The gravitational pull exerted on the test particle by the secondary acts as a small perturbation, wherefore the trajectory of the particle can be described as an ellipse of a precessing perihelion. While the apsidal motion is defined overwhelmingly by the Newtonian portion of the secondary’s gravity, the post-Newtonian portion, too, brings its tiny input. We explore whether this input may be of any astrophysical relevance in the next few decades. We demonstrate that the overall post-Newtonian input of the secondary’s gravity can be split into two parts. One can be expressed via the orbital angular momentum of the secondary and another via its orbital radius. Despite some moderately large numerical factors showing up in the expressions for these two parts, the resulting post-Newtonian contributions from the secondary’s gravity into the apsidal motion of the test particle turn out to be small enough to be neglected in the near-future measurements.

Collinear solution to the general relativistic three-body problem
The three-body problem is reexamined in the framework of general relativity. The Newtonian three-body problem admits Euler's collinear solution, where three bodies move around the common center of mass with the same orbital period and always line up. The solution is unstable. Hence, it is unlikely that such a simple configuration would exist owing to general relativistic forces dependent not only on the masses but also on the velocity of each body. However, we show that the collinear solution remains true with a correction to the spatial separation between masses. Relativistic corrections to the Sun-Jupiter Lagrange points L{sub 1}, L{sub 2}, and L{sub 3} are also evaluated.
