Experimentally favoured potential for mesons

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

We show first that a natural potential to be used in a semirelativistic wave equation for theS=1,J=J max light and heavy mesons is, forr≳1 Fermi,V(r)=ar+b/r withb≃−π/2, forr≲1 Fermi,V(r)=cln(r/r 0). Next we show that this particularb value favours in fact a QCD-like potential forr≲1 Fermi so that a logarithmic potential is only an effective one in a smallr region.

  2. Let us mention the earliest use of a semirelativistic equation to describe mesons by D. Stanley and D. Robson: Phys. Rev.D23, 2776 (1981) and the subsequent appearance of such an equation in J.L. Basdevant and G. Preparata: Nuovo Cimento67A, 19 (1982) and J.L. Basdevant, P. Colangelo and G. Preparata: Nuovo Cimento71A, 445 (1982). After completion of this paper, we were informed by H.J. Schnitzer that he and J.S. Kang already used it in 1975 (Phys. Rep.D12, 841 (1975))
