Mass Spectrum of Mesons via the WKB Approximation Method

Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrated that the multiple turning point problems within the framework of the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation method can be reduced to two turning point one for a nonsymmetric potential function by using an appropriate Pekeris-type approximation scheme. We solved the Schrödinger equation with the Killingbeck potential plus an inversely quadratic potential (KPIQP) function. The special cases of the modeled potential are discussed. We obtained the energy eigenvalues and the mass spectra of the heavy QQ¯ and heavy-light Qq¯ mesons systems. The results in this present work are in good agreement with the results obtained by other analytical methods and available experimental data in the literature.
