Abstract

Agreement with the measured electronic widths of the ψ(4040)\psi(4040), ψ(4415)\psi(4415), and Υ(11019)\Upsilon (11019) resonances is shown to be reached if two effects are taken into account: a flattening of the confining potential at large distances and a total screening of the gluon-exchange interaction at r\ga1.2r\ga 1.2 fm. The leptonic widths of the unobserved Υ(7S)\Upsilon(7S) and ψ(5S)\psi(5S) resonances: Γe+e(Υ(7S))=0.11\Gamma_{e^+e^-}(\Upsilon (7S))=0.11 keV and Γ(ψ(5S))0.54\Gamma(\psi(5S))\approx 0.54 keV are predicted.
