For light and heavy quarkonium systems the pseudoscalar-vector meson spectrum is generated by approximate Bardeen-Cooper- Schrieffer, random-phase approximation diagonalizations. This relativistic formulation includes both S and D waves for the vector mesons which generates a set of coupled integral equations. A smooth transition from the heavy to the light quark regime is found with chiral symmetry dominating the p-r mass difference. A reasonable description of the observed meson spin splittings and chiral quantities, such as the quark condensate and the p mass, is obtained. Similar comparisons with Tamm-Dancoff diagonalizations, which violate chiral symmetry, are deficient for light pseudoscalar mesons, indicating the need to simultaneously include both chiral symmetry and a hyperfine interaction. The hb mass is predicted to be around 9400 MeV, consistent with other theoretical expectations and above the unconfirmed 9300 MeV candidate. Finally, for comparison with lattice results, the J reliability parameter is also evaluated.}, number={3}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW C}, author={Llanes-Estrada, FJ and Cotanch, SR and Szczepaniak, AP and Swanson, ES}, year={2004}, month={Sep} } @article{swanson_szczepaniak_1999, title={Heavy hybrids with constituent gluons - art. no. 014035.}, volume={5901}, number={1}, journal={Physical Review.

The formulation is in the Coulomb gauge where the QCD Hamiltonian is renormalizable and the Gribov problem can be resolved. We utilize elements of the Glazek and Wilson regularization method but now introduce a continuous cut-off procedure which eliminates non-local counterterms. The effective Hamiltonian is then derived to second order in the strong coupling constant. The resulting renormalized Hamiltonian provides a realistic starting point for approximate many-body calculations of hadronic properties for systems with explicit gluon degrees of freedom. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}}, number={7}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW D}, author={Robertson, DG and Swanson, ES and Szczepaniak, AP and Ji, CR and Cotanch, SR}, year={1999}, month={Apr} } @article{szczepaniak_ji_radyushkin_1998, title={Consistent analysis of O(alpha(s)) corrections to the pion elastic form factor}, volume={57}, ISSN={["0556-2821"]}, DOI={10.1103/physrevd.57.2813}, abstractNote={The authors examine the role of O({alpha}{sub s}) perturbative corrections to the pion elastic form factor F{sub {pi}}(Q{sup 2}).
