Fine structure of the P states in heavy quarkonium and the nature of the spin-dependent potential

Abstract

The failure of existing theories to agree with the experimental measurements of the fine structure of the {Chi} states of the bb-bar and cc-bar systems is discussed. Various possible explanations, such as mixing of the 2P triplet with the 1F triplet are ruled out. The fact is used that the spin-independent potential is well-determined in the relevant range to extract accurate determinations of expectation values of the spin-dependent potentials, providing tests for future theories. It is found that the usual ansatz that the qq-bar interaction has effective vector and scalar contributions only is very unlikely to be sufficient to explain the fine structure of the {sup 3}P levels and to accommodate the recent measurement of the mass of the {sup 1}P state in charmonium.
