Meson Spectra: Power Law Potential Model in the Dirac Equation

Abstract

A single mass-spectra potential model has been used to predict the spectra of both light and heavy mesons (including leptonic decay-widths) in the Dirac equation. In fact a power law potential has been proposed with effective power

where is the mass of the constituent quarks (in GeV) of the mesons considered. The parameter is chosen so as to make dimensionless and this is accomplished by setting = 1 GeV. Our results for both light and heavy mesons are in reasonably good agreement with the experimental results as well as with that of other authors. The same model has also been applied to predict the mass-spectra for the toponium system for which the experimental data is not yet available. It will therefore be interesting to watch the experimental evolution of this system to test the ideas developed in this paper regarding this meson structure.
