RPA Vector Meson Leptonic Widths

Abstract

Recent J = 0 (para) baryonium interpretations of the BES narrow resonance data near the e^-e^+ -> p anti-p threshold suggests the existance of ortho baryonium. To assist future searches we study J = 1 states, especially vector meson leptonic decays, and report RPA calculations for both light and heavy mesons using a Coulomb-gauge QCD-inspired model. Since the phi(1880) is the only missing model state, other discovered J = 1 particles in this region are ortho baryonium candidates.
