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 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…
Analytic Quantization of the QCD String
Theodore J. Allen, Charles Goebel, M. G. Olsson +1
We perform an analytic semi-classical quantization of the straight QCD string with one end fixed and a massless quark on the other, in the limits of orbital and radial dominant mot…
Semileptonic form factors - a model-independent approach
T. Coleman, M. G. Olsson, S. Veseli
We demonstrate that the B->D(*) l nu form factors can be accurately predicted given the slope parameter rho^2 of the Isgur-Wise function. Only weak assumptions, consistent with lat…
From scalar to string confinement
Theodore J. Allen, M. G. Olsson, Sinisa Veseli
We outline a connection between scalar quark confinement, a phenomenologically successful concept heretofore lacking fundamental justification, and QCD. Although scalar confinement…
