Abstract
A relativistic power-law potential model of independent quarks is used to study the leptonic decays of neutral vector mesons. Here, the transition probability amplitude for leptonic decay of meson is determined from the momentum distribution function which is found from the assumption of a strong correlation existing between the momenta of quark and antiquark inside the meson. The model parameters are first determined from the application of the model to study the ground state spectra of ρ, ω, ϕ, ψ and ϒ mesons together with the radiative decay widths of mesons. The same model with no adjustable parameters is then used to evaluate the leptonic decay widths and the electromagnetic decay constants for the vector mesons ρ, ω, ϕ, ψ and ϒ. The calculated results are in remarkable agreement with the corresponding experimental values.
