Hadronic transitions between quark-antiquark bound states

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
A multipole expansion of the color gauge field is shown to yield selection rules and rate estimates for hadronic transitions between nonrelativistic quark-antiquark bound states. The non-Abelian character of the field is of critical importance in determining the selection rules for the leading (''allowed'') transition.
