SU(2) Lattice Gluon Propagator and Potential Models

Abstract

We study the bottomonium spectrum using a potential model. Our potential incorporates lattice results for the gluon propagator, obtained from simulations of pure SU(2) gauge theory in Landau gauge. The mass of the bottom quark is left as a free parameter. The resulting spectrum is compared to the case of the Coulomb plus Linear (or Cornell) Potential.
