Potential regime for heavy quarks dynamics and Lorentz nature of confinement

Abstract

Propagation of the heavy quark in the field of a static antiquark source is studied in the framework of effective Dirac equation. The model of QCD vacuum is described by bilocal gluonic correlators. In the heavy quark limit the effective interaction is reduced to the potential one with 5/6 Lorentz scalar and 1/6 Lorentz vector linear confinement, while spin-orbit term is in agreement with Eichten-Feinberg-Gromes results. New spin-independent corrections to the leading confining regime are identified, which arise due to the nonlocality of the interaction in time direction and quark Zitterbewegung.
