Mass spectra and wave functions of toponia

Abstract

In this article, we solve the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation with Cornell potential and Coulomb potential and conduct a meticulous study of the mass spectrum and wave function of toponium. Our investigation reveals that, owing to the exceedingly heavy mass of the top quark, the mass splitting between singlet and triplet states, as well as within the triplet states, is negligible. Consequently, relativistic corrections can be safely disregarded in the study of toponium. As such, we present the nonrelativistic wave functions for S-wave, P-wave, and D-wave toponia and study the decays ηt γγ, ηt gg, and +-.
