A potential model description of heavy quarkonium can be rigorously deduced from QCD under some circumstances. The potentials can be unambiguously related with Wilson loops with gluonic insertions, the spectral decomposition of which is a…
We study in detail the spectrum of heavy quarkonia with different orbital angular momentum along with their radial and gluonic excitations. Using an anisotropic formulation of Lattice QCD we achieved an unprecedented control over…
