Abstract

This thesis examines three problems of the quark model, split between two general areas. The general areas are: 1) models of meson decay (³P₀ and flux-tube breaking), 2) final state interactions (FSI's). The three specific problems are: 1) identification of the f₄(2220) state, 2) determination of the mixing angle between the K₁(1270) and K₁(1400) mesons, 3) examination of FSI's in the reaction γγ→ ππ near threshold. A more complete abstract is included in the thesis.
