A mass formula for light mesons from a potential model
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract The quark dynamics inside light mesons, except pseudoscalar ones, can be quite well described by a spinless Salpeter equation supplemented by a Cornell interaction (possibly partly vector, partly scalar). A mass formula for these mesons can then be obtained by computing analytical approximations of the eigenvalues of the equation. We show that such a formula can be derived by combining the results of two methods: the dominantly orbital state description and the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization approach. The predictions of the mass formula are compared with accurate solutions of the spinless Salpeter equation computed with a Lagrange-mesh calculation method.

THE SPINLESS SALPETER EQUATION AND MESON DYNAMICS
Applying the variational method, the spinless reduced Bethe-Salpeter (RBS) equation is solved for the mesonic systems, and the mass spectra are obtained. The method is applied to the Hamiltonian with the Gaussian and hydrogen-type trial wave functions, and different potential models are examined. The results for the different potentials are in challenge in light mesons, while they are consisten...
متن کاملOn a classification of mesons
We give a mass formula for computing the mass spectrum of mesons. By this formula we show that there are many mesons with their masses corresponding to a prime number. In particular we show that all strange mesons are with their masses corresponding to a prime number. With these prime numbers indexing the mesons we give a classification of mesons. We set up a knot model of mesons to derive this...
متن کاملMeson Spectra from an Effective Light Cone Qcd-inspired Model
Abstract I present some recent applications of a light cone QCD-inspired model with the mass squared operator consisting of a harmonic oscillator potential as confinement in the meson spectra. The model gives an universal and satisfactory description of both singlet and triplet states of S-wave mesons. In the present work P -wave Ds mesons are also investigated. The mass of the recently found m...

We analyze three-body decays of and . Under the factorization approach, there are tree level diagrams for these decay modes and the transition matrix element of decay is factorized into a form factor multiplied by decay constant and form factor multiplied into weak vertices form factor. The transition matrix element of decay is also factorized into a form factor multiplied into weak vertic...
متن کاملEffects of negative energy components in the constituent quark model.
Relativistic covariance requires that in the constituent quark model for mesons the positive energy states as well as the negative energy states are included. Using relativistic quasi-potential equations the contribution of the negative energy states is studied for the light and charmonium mesons. It is found that these states change the meson mass spectrum significantly but leave its global st...
