Conventional Heavy Quarkonium systems, Charmonium and Bottomonium, are believed to
be composed of a heavy quark and anti-quark pair. These systems are investigated by dierent
methods resulting from dierent approaches to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), such as
Lattice QCD, Eective Theories and Sum Rules. In this thesis we study the spectrum of
Charmonium and Bottomonium using a non-relativistic Quark Model. Assuming one gluon
exchange for the short distances and a linear confining potential for long distances we derive
Breit-Fermi interaction Hamiltonian and calculate the spectra arising from this Hamiltonian.
Also we calculate the partial widths of E1 and M1 radiative decays.
