Lorentz structure vs relativistic consistency of an effective power-law potential model for quark-antiquark systems

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
We show here that the relativistic consistency of an effective power-law potential V(r) = Ar/sup ..nu../+V/sub 0/ (with A, ..nu..>0) (used successfully to describe the heavy-meson spectra) in generating Dirac bound states of QQ-bar and Qq-bar systems implies, and also at the same time is implied by, an equally mixed vector-scalar Lorentz structure which was observed phenomenologically in the fine-hyperfine splittings of meson spectra.
