Abstract: (APS)
The masses and leptonic widths of vector mesons may be used to construct quark-antiquark potentials by means of an inverse-scattering method. This technique has been applied to the charmonium system. A corresponding potential has been constructed from ϒ and ϒ′ and found to be in substantial agreement with that constructed from ψ and ψ′ if the ϒ is composed of a charge −13 quark and the corresponding antiquark. This agreement may be interpreted as evidence for flavor independence of the quark-antiquark potential. Predictions for a hypothetical ζ family of higher-lying vector mesons also are noted.Note:
