Abstract: | The strong decays of meson resonances are treated in a dynamical quark model. The model is formulated in the framework of general field theory and therefore all calculations are fully relativistic covariant. Spectrum and wave functions are derived from a Bethe-Salpeter equation describing the binding of heavy quarks by a smooth, very strong interaction. The mesonic vertices are calculated with help of these BS amplitudes in triangle graph approximation, thereby guaranteeing a symmetric treatment of all mesons involved in the process. A particular spin dependence of the interaction has the consequence that the super-strong quark binding forces lead to mesonic forces of moderate strength only (saturation of quark forces!).The applications refer to the decays of vector mesons, tensor mesons, scalar mesons into pseudoscalars and vectors and are extended to resonances in the R region. In particular, we include the decays into two pions of the radial excited ?′(1600). The helicity structure of the decays of the axial vector meson is discussed. |
