Spin in Schrödinger-quantized Pseudoclassical Systems

Theodore J. Allen

We examine the construction of the spin angular momentum in systems with pseudoclassical Grassmann variables. In constrained systems there are many different algebraic forms for th…

Quantization of Pseudoclassical Systems in the Schrödinger Realization

Theodore J. Allen, Donald Spector, Christopher Wilson

We examine the quantization of pseudoclassical dynamical systems, models that have classically anticommuting variables, in the Schrödinger picture. We quantize these systems, which…

Direct experimental test of scalar confinement

Theodore J. Allen, M. G. Olsson, Jeffrey R. Schmidt +2

The concept of Lorentz scalar quark confinement has a long history and is still widely used despite its well-known theoretical faults. We point out here that the predictions of sca…

Universal light quark mass dependence and heavy-light meson spectroscopy

Theodore J. Allen, Todd Coleman, M. G. Olsson +1

Clean predictions are presented for all the spin-averaged heavy-light meson spectroscopies. A new symmetry is identified wherein the energy eigenstates have a universal dependence…

QCD strings with spinning quarks

Theodore J. Allen, M. G. Olsson, Jeffrey R. Schmidt

We construct a consistent action for a massive spinning quark on the end of a QCD string that leads to pure Thomas precession of the quark's spin. The string action is modified by…

Reduction of the QCD string to a time component vector potential

Theodore J. Allen, M. G. Olsson

We demonstrate the equivalence of the relativistic flux tube model of mesons to a simple potential model in the regime of large radial excitation. We make no restriction on the qua…
