Slope of the Isgur-Wise function in the heavy mass limit of quark models à la Bakamjian-Thomas

Abstract

The slope of the Isgur-Wise function for ground state mesons is evaluated for the heavy mass limit of quark models à la Bakamjian-Thomas, which has been previously discussed by us in general terms. A full calculation in various spectroscopic models with relativistic kinetic energy gives a rather stable result ${\rho }^2\approx 1$, much lower than previous estimates. Attention is paid to a careful comparison of this result with the ones of QCD fundamental methods (lattice QCD, QCD sum rules) and with experimental data.
