Bound states of a relativistic quark confined by a vector potential

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
;
The prevailing view that infinitely rising potentials which are used in the Dirac equation to confine quark-antiquark systems must not be Lorentz vectors is reexamined. By considering the infinite-mass limit of the Bethe-Salpeter equation, a relativistic single-particle equation which does allow vector confinement potentials to yield a discrete spectrum is obtained.
