A Heavy-Light Quark Potential

Abstract

In many studies of meson-baryon interactions with short one gluon exchange potential (OGEP), usually a full non-relativistic reduction, at the quark level Hamiltonian, is performed. In systems like ηcN , light and heavy quarks are present, which in principle would require only a partial non-relativistic reduction. We shal start from a JKJ relativistic quark Hamiltonian and apply a partial non-relativistic reduction in order to obtain a OGEP between heavy and light quarks (heavy-light quark potential).
