Relativistic two-body calculation of $b\bar{b}$-mesons radiative decays

Abstract

This paper is a prosecution of a previous work where we presented a unified two-fermion covariant scheme which produced very precise results for the masses of light and heavy mesons. We extend the analysis to some radiative decays of mesons ${\rm Y},{\chi }_{b2},h_b,{\chi }_{b1},{\chi }_{b0},{\eta }_b$ and we calculate their branching ratios and their widths. For most of them we can make a comparison with experimental data finding a good agreement.For the decays for which data are not available we compare ours with other recent theoretical previsions.
