HEAVY QUARKONIUM IN THE DUAL GINZBURG–LANDAU THEORY OF QCD

Abstract

We study the masses and leptonic decay widths of the heavy quarkonium in the dual Ginzburg–Landau (DGL) theory of QCD, in which the Abelian monopole condensation plays an essential role for color confinement. The effect of color screening due to the light quark pair creation is introduced by the infrared momentum cutoff in the gluon propagator. We find that the color screening effect is important for reproducing the properties of the heavy quarkonium, in particular the leptonic decay width. We also discuss the underlying systematics of the heavy quark spectroscopy in the DGL theory.
