Unified, Relativistic Quark Model for Mesons
Journal Article
·
· Physical Review Letters
A relativistic wave equation is solved for equal-mass quarks interacting via a combined linear and ''Coulombic'' potential, the latter being softened at short distances in accord with asymptotic freedom. Assuming that colored SU(4) is broken only by the quark mass differences, masses and leptonic decay widths for the p, phi, and psi meson families of states are predicted. Agreement with experiment is excellent. (AIP)
