Abstract
The mass relation miraculously holds for the -wave charmonium and bottomonium systems with soaring precision. The origin of such relation can be addressed from Quark Models, and have been confirmed experimentally in a limited number of cases. In this connection, we propose as an extension to the -wave case. In order to test its applicability, we employ a variety of Quark Model predictions for the mass spectrum. Our numerical analysis confirms such formula is accurate up to very small deviations.
