The quark-antiquark spectrum from upside down

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-12-07 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We argue that the spectra of quark-antiquark systems should better be studied from higher radial excitations and, in particular, from configurations with well-defined quantum numbers, rather than from ground states and lower radial excitations, the most suitable system being charmonium.
