When calculating we apply the relations1GeV−1≈0.1973269679fm,1s−1≈0.658211915×10−24GeV,1V/m≈0.2309956375×10−23GeV2,1T≈0.6925075988×10−15GeV2.Finally,for the necessary estimates we shall employ the T00-component(volu-metric energy density)of the energy-momentum tensor for a SU(3)-Yang-Mills field which should be written in the chosen system of units in the formTµν=−F aµαF aνβgαβ+1√r+A1,−A3t+13A8t=−a2√r−(A1+A2),A3ϕ+13A8ϕ=b1r+B1,−A3ϕ+13A8ϕ=b2r+B2,−23A8ϕ=−(b1+b2)r−(B1+B2)(4)with the real constants a j,A j,b j,B j parametrizing the family.Another part of the family is given by the unique nonperturbative modulo square integrable solutions of the Dirac equation in the confining SU(3)-field of(4)Ψ=(Ψ1,Ψ2,Ψ3)with the four-dimensional Dirac spinorsΨj representing the j th colour component of the meson,which may describe the relativistic bound states of two quarks(mesons)and look as follows(with Pauli matrix σ1)Ψj=e iωj t r−1 F j1(r)Φj(ϑ,ϕ)F j2(r)σ1Φj(ϑ,ϕ) ,j=1,2,3(5) with the2D eigenspinorΦj= Φj1Φj2 of the euclidean Dirac operator D0on the unit sphere S2,while the coordinate r stands for the distance between quarks.The explicit form ofΦj is not needed here and can be found in Ref. [5,7].For the purpose of the present Letter we shall adduce the necessary spinors below.SpinorsΦj form an orthonormal basis in L22(S2).The energy spectrum of a meson is given byω=ω1+ω2+ω3withωj=ωj(n j,l j,λj)=gA j+−Λj g2a j b j±(n j+αj) n2j+2n jαj+Λ2j,j=1,2,3,(6) where g is the gauge coupling constant,a3=−(a1+a2),b3=−(b1+b2),A3=−(A1+A2),B3=−(B1+B2),Λj=λj−gB j,αj=βj ,P j=gb j+βj,F j2=iC j Q j rαj e−βj r 1+gb jµ20−ω2j+g2b2j while C j is determined from the normalization con-dition ∞0(|F j1|2+|F j2|2)dr=1¯h c,a j→a j/√¯h c,B j→B j/√2¯h2(n j+|λj|)2z2 − λg2a j b j¯h3(nj+|λj|)7z+O(z2),(8)where f(n j,λj)=4λj n j(n2j+λ2j)+|λj|µ20+g2b2j.We may seemingly use(6)with various combinations of signes(±)before sec-ond summand in numerators of(6)but,due to(8),it is reasonable to take all signs equal to+which is our choice within the Letter.Besides,as is not com-plicated to see,radial parts in nonrelativistic limit have the behaviour of form F j1,F j2∼r l j,which allows one to call quantum number l j angular momentum for j th colour component though angular momentum is not conserved in thefield(4)[1,5].So for mesons under consideration we should put all l j=0. Finally it should be noted that spectrum(6)is degenerated owing to degen-eracy of eigenvalues for the euclidean Dirac operator D0on the unit sphere ly,each eigenvlalue of D0λ=±(l+1),l=0,1,2...,has multiplicity 2(l+1)so we has2(l+1)eigenspinors orthogonal to each other.Ad referen-dum we need eigenspinors corresponding toλ=±1(l=0)so here is their explicit formλ=−1:Φ=C2e−iϑ2 e iϑ2e−iϕ/2,λ=1:Φ=C2e iϑ2 −e−iϑ2e−iϕ/2(9)with the coefficient C=1/√µ=3j=1ωj(0,0,λj)=3 j=1 −g2a j b j|Λj| (10)and,as a consequence,the corresponding meson wave functions of(5)are represented by(7),(9).3.1Choice of quark masses and gauge coupling constantIt is evident for employing the above relations we have to assign some valuesto quark masses and gauge coupling constant g.In accordance with Ref.[6], at present the current quark masses are restricted to intervals1.5MeV≤m u≤5MeV,3.0MeV≤m d≤9MeV,60MeV≤m s≤170MeV,so we take m u=(1.5+5)/2MeV=3.25MeV,m d=(3+9)/2MeV=6MeV,m s=(60+170)/2MeV=115MeV.Under the circumstances,the reducedmassµ0of Table1will respectively take values m u/2,m d/2,m u m d/(m u+m d),m u m s/(m u+m s),m d m s/(m d+m s).As to gauge coupling constant g=√Ψ(γµ⊗I3)Ψ=(Ψ†Ψ,Ψ†(α⊗I3)Ψ)=(ρ,J).Electric formfactor f(K)is the Fourier transform ofρf(K)= Ψ†Ψe−i Kr d3x=3 j=1 Ψ†jΨj e−i Kr d3x=3 j=1f j(K)= 3j=1 (|F j1|2+|F j2|2)Φ†jΦj e−i KrαΓ(α),πe −iKr cos ϑsin

3x.(14)Magnetic moment of meson is M =V m d 3x ,where V is volume of meson.Then at l j =0we have J y =0for any spinor of (9),whileV m x,y,z d 3x =0because of turning to zero either integral over ϑor the one over ϕ,which is easily to check.As a result,magnetic moments of mesons under consideration with the wave functions of (5)(at l j =0)are equal to zero,as should be according to experimental data [6].3.4Numerical resultsWe employed relations(10)and(13)for obtaining estimates of the confiningSU(3)-gluonicfield parameters in mesons under discussion and,to imposemore restrictions,we considered in(10)eachωj=µ/3,µis meson mass,though it is not obligatory.Also the experimental estimates,if any,of<r>were used from Refs.[6,11].The results are adduced in Tables1,2.It should√be noted

split of n from(18)as n=n coul+n lin.The parameters of Tables1,2were employed when computing and for simplic-ity we put sinϑ=1in(16)–(17).Also there were used the following present-day whole decay

netic colour ones)can be considered to be the classical ones with enormousstrenghts.The part n coul of gluon concentration n connected with the Coulombelectric colourfield is decreasing faster than n lin,the part of n related to thelinear magnetic colourfield,and at large distances n lin becomes dominantwhile quarks in mesons under investigation should be considered the ultrarel-ativistic point-like particles.It should be emphasized that in fact the gluon concentrations are much greater than the estimates given in Tables3,4be-cause the latter are the estimates for maximal possible gluon frequencies,i.e.for maximal possible gluon impulses(under the concrete situation of pions and kaons).The latter also explains why gluon concentrations are much larger(about8orders of magnitude)for charged pions compared toπ0-meson:just the corresponding life times are different by the same orders so,accordingly,the conforming maximal gluon impulses are in inverse relation.The given picture is in concordance with the one obtained when considering charmonium in Refs.[2,3,5].As a result,the confinement mechanism developed in Refs.[1,4,5]is confirmed by the considerations of the present Letter.It should be noted,however,that our results are of a preliminary characterwhich is readily apparent,for example,from that the current quark masses(as well as the gauge coupling constant g)used in computation are known only within the certain limits and we can expect similar limits for the magnitudesdiscussed in the Letter so it is neccesary further specification of the parameters for the confining SU(3)-gluonicfield in pions and kaons which can be obtained,for instance,by calculating decay constants and weak formfactors for the given mesons with the help of wave functions discussed above.Also one can obtain the analogous estimates for vector mesons,for instance,by computing thewidths of radiative decays for them and so on.We hope to continue analysing other problems of meson spectroscopy elsewhere.5.2Connection with potential approach and string-like pictureThe results obtained above allow us to shed some light on the following two problems.As is known,during a long time up to now in meson spectroscopyone often uses the so-called potential approach(see,e.g.,Refs.[12,13]and references therein).The essence of it is in that the interaction between quarks is modelled on a nonrelativistic confining potential in the form a/R+kR+c0with some real constants a,k,c0and the distance between quarks R.On the other hand,also for a long time there exists the so-called string-like pictureof quark confinement but only at qualitative level(see,e.g.,book of Perkins in[8]).Up to now,however,it is unknown as such considerations might be warranted from the point of view of QCD.Let us in short outline as ourresults(based on and derived from QCD-Lagrangian directly)naturally lead to possible justification of the mentioned directions.Thereto we note that onecan calculate energy E of gluon condensate conforming to solution(4)in a volume V through relation E= V T00r2sinϑdrdϑdϕwith T00of(16)–(17) but one should take into account that classical T00has a singularity alongz-axis(ϑ=0,π)and we have to introduce some angleϑ0(whose physical meaning is to be clarified a little below)soϑ0≤ϑ≤π−ϑ0.Then let us choose V as shown in Fig.1,i.e.the one between two concentric spheres withradii R0<R restricted to interior of coneϑ=ϑ0.Fig.1.Integration domain for obtaining the gluonic energyWithout going into details(see also Ref.[4])we shall obtainE=E(R)=E0+aR0−2πB R0ln1+cosϑ01−cosϑ0 with constants A,B of(16).We recognize the mentioned confining poten-tial in(20)when identifying E0=c0and we can see that phenomenological parameters a,k,c0of potential are expressed through more fundamental pa-rameters connected with the unique exact solution(4)of Yang-Mills equations describing confinement.One can notice that the quantity k(string tension) is usually related to the so-called Regge slopeα′=1/(2πk)and in many if not all of the papers using potential approach it is accepted k≈0.18 GeV2,E0=c0≈−0.873GeV(see,e.g.,Refs.[12,13]).Also one often uses parametrization a=−4αs(R0)/3,whereαs(R0)is the strong coupling con-stant at R0so when R<R0potential description is not applicable.If using (20)and the results obtained in Table1we can in series computeϑ0,αs(R0),R0 for all mesons under discussion and also for the ground state of charmonium ηc(1S)for that we use the parametrization from Refs.[3–5]with replacing a i→a i/√4πsince the system of units in those references is dif-ferent from the one used here.Results of computation are presented in Table 5.Table5Parameters determining the confining potential for pions,kaons and charmonium ground state.Particleαs(R0)π0—64.56◦0.757dd0.532×10−3π±—u ud0.600×10−3K±—u us0.357×10−2K0,s,60.272◦0.960c0.163×10−2Fig.2.Formation of string-like picture between quarkssystem when inserting potential of form(20)into Dirac(Pauli,Schr¨o dinger) equation.So,we draw the conclusion(mentioned as far back as in Refs.[2]) that the potential approach seems to be inconsistent.Now if there are two quarks Q1,Q2and each of them emits gluons outside of its own coneϑ=ϑ1,2(see Fig.2)then we have soft gluons(as mentioned in Section1)in regions I,II and between quarks so a characteristic transverse size D of the gluon condensate is decreasing with increasing quark masses as we just now saw.For heavy quarks the gluon configuration between them practically transforms into a string.As a result,there arises the string-like picture of quark confinement but the latter seems to be warranted enough only for heavy quarks.It should be emphasized that string tension k is determined just by parameters b1,2of linear magnetic colourfield from solution(4)[see (20)]which indirectly confirms the dominant role of the mentionedfield for confinement.5.3Concluding remarksConsiderations of the present Letter as well as ones of Refs.[2,3]show that in meson spectroscopy the approach based on the unique family of compatible nonperturbative solutions for the Dirac-Yang-Mills system derived from QCD-Lagrangian may be employed for both light mesons and heavy quarkonia. Under the circumstances there are no apparent obstacles to apply the approach to any meson.We hope further studies along this direction to confirm the given point of view.AcknowledgementsAuthor is grateful to the referee whose valuable remarks promoted essential improvement of the initial version of the Letter.References[1]Yu.P.Goncharov,Mod.Phys.Lett.A16(2001)557.[2]Yu.P.Goncharov,Europhys.Lett.62(2003)684;Yu.P.Goncharov and E.A.Choban,Mod.Phys.Lett.A18(2003)1661.[3]Yu.P.Goncharov and A.A.Bytsenko,Phys.Lett.B602(2004)86.[4]Yu.P.Goncharov,Phys.Lett.B617(2005)67.[5]Yu.P.Goncharov,in:New Developments in Black Hole Research,ed.P.V.Kreitler(Nova Science Publishers,Inc.,New York,2006),Chapter3,pp.67–121(hep-th/0512099).[6]S.Eidelman,et al.,Particle Data Group,Phys.Lett.B592(2004)1.[7]Yu.P.Goncharov,Pis’ma v ZhETF69(1999)619;Phys.Lett.B458(1999)29.[8]Yu.B.Rumer,A.I.Fet,Theory of Unitary Symmetry,Nauka,Moscow,1970;F.E.Close,An Introduction to Quarks and Partons,Academic Press,London,1979;D.H.Perkins,Introduction to High Energy Physics,Addison–Wesley,London,1987.[9] A.Deur,Nucl.Phys.A755(2005)353;A.Deur,et.al.,hep-ph/0509113.[10]A.P.Prudnikov,Yu.A.Brychkov and O.I.Marichev,Integrals and Series.Elementary Functions(Nauka,Moscow,1981).[11]R.Alkofer,A.Bender,C.D.Roberts,Int.J.Mod.Phys.A10(1995)3319;B.V.Geshkenbein,Phys.Rev.D61(2000)033009.[12]W.Roberts,B.Silvestre-Brac,Phys.Rev.D57(1998)1694;R.Bonnaz,B.Silvestre-Brac and C.Gignoux,Eur.Phys.J.A13(2002)363.[13]N.Brambilla,et al.,CERN Yellow Report,CERN-2005-005Geneva:CERN,2005(hep-ph/0412158).。
