Scalar quarkonium masses
Abstract
We evaluate the valence approximation to the mass of scalar quarkonium for a range of different parameters. Our results strongly suggest that the infinite volume continuum limit of the mass of ss̄ scalar quarkonium lies well below the mass of fJ(1710). The resonance f0(1500) appears to the best candidate for ss̄ scalar quarkonium.
