 Abstract.

In the framework of relativistic harmonic confinement model for quarks and antiquarks, the masses of  S- and P-wave mesons and pseudoscalar decay constants from light flavour to heavy flavour sectors are computed. The residual  two-body Coulomb interaction and the spin-dependent interaction of the confined one gluon exchange effects (COGEP) such as spin--spin and spin--orbit interactions are perturbatively incorporated with the confinement energy to get the respective vector-pseudoscalar meson mass differences. Here we employ the same parametrization and model parameters as used in a recent study of low-lying hadron masses and leptonic decay widths. The results are being compared with the values obtained from other theoretical models and the experimental values.

Keywords:  Unified confinement scheme; pseudoscalar mesons; decay constants; confined one gluon exchange potential.
