Meson spectrum in the quark model with a phenomenological potential

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
The masses of mesons are calculated under the assumption that meson is a bound state of a quark-antiquark pair interacting via a phenomenological potential. The form of the potential, which contains a Coulomb-type term, a linear confining term, pulse spin-orbit, tensor, spin-spin, and other terms, is suggested by gauge field theoty, but the magnitudes of the terms are determined by phenomenological fit to the data. Predictions are given for the masses of as yet unseen mesons.
