Mass spectrum of 1-- heavy quarkonium
Abstract
We calculate the masses and leptonic decay widths of the bottomonium b b and charmonium c c states in a constituent quark model where the Cornell-like potential and spin-dependent interaction are employed, with all model parameters predetermined by studying ground and first radial excited states of S- and P-wave heavy quarkonium mesons. By comparing the theoretical predictions for JPC=1-- quarkonium states with experimental data and considering possible mixtures of nS and (n-1)D states, we provide tentative assignments for all observed JPC=1-- heavy quarkonia. The work suggests that the (10860) and (11020) are b b 5S-4D mixture states, and the (4360) and (4415) are largely 4S and 3D c c states respectively. The (4260) may not be accommodated with the conventional meson picture in the present work.
