Title: Confinement through a relativistic generalization of the linear interaction

Conference ·
OSTI ID:755914

Generalizing a covariant framework previously developed, it is shown that confinement insures that meson {r_arrow} q + {anti q} decay amplitudes vanish when both quarks are on-shell. Regularization of singularities in a covariant linear potential associated with nonzero energy transfers (i.e. q{sup 2}=0, q{sup {mu}} {ne} 0) is improved.
