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…
A Roadmap For Meson Spectroscopy
M. G. Olsson
An efficient classification of light quark meson states is discussed based on the dominance of angular and radial quark excitation. A synthesis of Regge and quark dynamics allows a…
QCD String Structure in Vector Confinement
Theodore J. Allen, Todd Coleman, M. G. Olsson +1
We demonstrate that the Nambu-Goto string spectroscopy with massless quarks is replicated in highly excited states of the linear vector confinement potential. For deep radial excit…
