Abstract

We use a light cone harmonic oscillator model to study S wave meson spectra, namely the pseudoscalar and vector mesons. The model Hamiltonian is a mass squared operator consisting of a central potential (a harmonic oscillator potential) from which a hyperfine interaction is derived. The hyperfine interaction is responsible for the splitting in the pseudoscalar-vector spectra. With 4 parameters for the masses of up/down, strange, charm and bottom quarks, 2 for the harmonic oscillator potential and 1 for the hyperfine interaction, the model presents a reasonably good agreement with the data.
