Level shift and charm mass: a test of asymptotic planarity

Abstract

Level shifts and mixings away from exact exchange degeneracy are examined with respect to the "Asymptotic Planarity" predictions of Chew and Rosensweig. It is found that the data in the J = 0-, 1-, and 2 multiplets support neither the general shape nor the special relation proposed by Chew and Rosenzweig for the tensor and vector "cylinder" corrections.
