Classical Solutions of SU(3) Yang-Mills Theory and Heavy Quark Phenomenology

Abstract

It is showed that potentials derived from classical solutions of the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory can provide confining potentials that reproduce the heavy quarkonium spectrum within the same level of precision as the Cornell potential.
