Chiral Symmetry and Hyperfine Quark-Antiquark Splittings

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v2

Abstract

We briefly review theoretical calculations for the pseudoscalar-vector meson hyperfine splitting with no open flavor and also report a many body field theoretical effort to assess the impact of chiral symmetry in the choice of effective potentials for relativistic quark models. Our calculations predict the missing eta_b meson to have mass near 9400 MeVMeV. The radial excitation ηc(2S)\eta_c(2S) is in agreement with the measurements of the BELLE and most recently BABAR collaborations.
