Spin-Orbit Couplings in the String Model

摘要

The spectrum of mesons with high spins is considered in the rotating string model. It is shown that Thomas precession of quarks spins gives rise to spin-orbit coupling. Predictions of the model agree with the experimental data on mass spectrum of mesons with even parity and even spins. 19 refs.; 3 figs. (Atomindex citation 18:092420)
