Abstract

Among the many different ideas that were proposed to explain the narrow width of the high-mass states ψ(3095) and ψ′(3684) the simplest and most popular one is based on the quark model: In addition to the three “old” light quarks, u, d, s (collectively denoted as q) there is a “new” heavy quark Q carrying a new quantum number, that is to be conserved in strong and electromagnetic interactions. Consequently one expects three types of mesons,

  1. a.

    Ordinary (qq̄) states,

  2. b.

    High-mass (QQ̄) states,

  3. c.

    New (qQ̄) and (q̄Q) states.
