2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/49395I shortly review the application of a recently introduced constituent quark-meson model to the determination of some strong coupling constants governing the decays of charm heavy mesons with one pion in the final state. I present the model directly through its rules for computing amplitudes. For a detailed explanation of the model, the reader is referred to the original papers.4 pages, 1 eps figure, To be published in the Proceedings of the XIth Rencontres de Blois, Blois, France, June 27-Jul 3, 1999High Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
