An oscillator model for hadronization

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

This article brings together a comparison of the predictions of a model of long standing with experimental data. The model is based on a parallel between quark bound states and a diatom, with the quarks as the atoms and the mesons as the photons. The results are partially already published and partially new. The motivation for this full compilation is the compelling nature of the many phenomena covered correctly by the model’s predictions. Only one parameter is necessary for a complete specification of the model; it is related to the constant relating string length to excitation energy.
