The concept of Lorentz scalar quark confinement has a long history and is still widely used despite its well-known theoretical faults. We point out here that the predictions of scalar confinement also conflict directly with experiment. We investigate the dependence of heavy-light meson mass differences on the mass of the light quark. In particular, we examine the strange and non-strange D meson...
متن کاملDynamically induced scalar quark confinement
We employ a functional approach to investigate the confinement problem in quenched Landau gauge QCD. We demonstrate analytically that a linear rising potential between massive quarks is generated by infrared singularities in the dressed quark-gluon vertex. The selfconsistent mechanism that generates these singularities is driven by the scalar Dirac amplitudes of the full vertex and the quark pr...
متن کاملConfinement from a massive scalar in QCD
A model is introduced with a massive scalar coupling to the Yang–Mills term in four–dimensional gauge theory. It is shown that the resulting potential of colour sources consists of a short range Coulomb interaction and a long range confining part. Far away from the source the scalar vanishes ∼ r while the potential diverges linearly ∼ r. Up to an Nc–dependent factor of order 1 the tension param...
متن کاملMassive or Massless Scalar Field and Confinement
Generalization of QCD motivated classical SU(2) Yang–Mills theory coupled to the scalar field is discussed. The massive scalar field, corresponding the scalar glueball, provides a confining potential for static, point–like, external sources. In case of massless scalar field screening solutions are found. However, there is a confining sector as well. Both, massive and massless confining solution...
متن کاملScalar confinement in a relativistic hydrogenlike meson
Wavefunctions of a relativistic heavy quark-light quark (Q, q) system described by a Dirac hamiltonian with a linear Lorentz scalar confinement potential (S) are analyzed. It is found that they are normalizable and that they do account for the Klein paradox. Calculation of the slope of the Isgur-Wise function at zero recoil point gives ξ(1) = −1.05 ± 0.02. This suggests that if one considers re...
